The St. Louis Cardinals have lost 11 of their last 15 at Busch Stadium but will try and buck that trend on Saturday against the Miami Marlins.
Tom Koehler and Adam Wainwright are the probable starters for both teams. Koehler (6-7, 4.50 ERA) saw his winless stretch extend to four in the wake of Sunday’s defeat against the Cincinnati Reds. The 30-year-old has stifled Cards’ slugger Matt Holliday, as the outfielder is .171 in his life against Koehler.
Wainwright (8-5, 4.49) recorded back-to-back dominant outings into the All-Star break. Wainwright owns a 4-2 career record against Miami.
