Flaherty takes on Lester in finale of the Cardinals' series at Busch vs. Cubs

The Cards will also see the Brewers a bunch down the stretch: Aug. 19-21 and Sept. 13-15 at Busch and Aug. 26-28 in Milwaukee.

The Cubs and Brewers square off in three-game sets this weekend and Aug. 30-Sept. 1 at Wrigley and for a four-gamer Sept. 5-8 in Milwaukee.

In tonight's series finale, the Cardinals send righthander Jack Flaherty (4-6, 4.17 ERA) to the mound against Chicago lefty Jon Lester (9-6, 3.63).

Flaherty has been especially solid since the All-Star break, allowing just four runs over his last 24 1/3 innings. In his last outing, he allowed two runs over six innings against the Astros, striking out nine and walking one.
