The St. Louis Cardinals are facing off against the Pittsburgh Pirates this Wednesday as they strive to stay in contention for the postseason. Currently, with a record of 65-68, the Cardinals are 6.5 games behind the final NL wild card spot with just 29 games left. After narrowly winning their recent game 7-6 with a last-minute homer from Alec Burleson, the Pirates look to reclaim momentum following their 8-3 victory on Tuesday.
