After putting a little more distance between themselves and the Nationals, the Phillies head to St. Louis to face the Cardinals. The Cardinals fancy themselves playoff contenders, but this past weekend put a slight crimp in those hopes.
St. Louis Cardinals
Record: 20-14, Second place in National League Central
The Cardinals visited Philadelphia last July, and because the Phillies had yet to go into collapse mode, the Phils took two out of three. This will be the Phillies’ first trip to St. Louis since last May, a series in which they also won two of three.
