Field Level Media

Starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery will try to cap his dominant August for the St. Louis Cardinals with a win when they face the streaking Atlanta Braves Saturday.

The Braves won 11-4 on Friday in the opener of their three-game road series at Busch Stadium for their 15th victory in their past 17games. The Cardinals lost for just the third time in their past 13 games.

Montgomery (7-3, 3.08 ERA) is 4-0 with a 0.35 ERA in his first four starts since arriving from the New York Yankees in a trade for center fielder Harrison Bader.
