Preview

The Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies will play game 2 of their 3-Game series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on Friday, Philadelphia are 1-0 Vs the Cardinals this season after winning 5-3 at home on Friday.

St Louis Cardinals 

Cardinals aren't good on the road like they are at home as they have lost 8 of last 11 road games including a 3-5 Vs the Phillies in game 1. St Louis are on a 2 game losing streak now and will try to bounce back and tie the series record between them and the Phillies in tonight's game. ST Louis Cardinals are 3rd in runs scored and 7th in runs allowed this season.

Probable pitcher:

Matthew Liberatore (2-1, 4.00 ERA) will be on the mound for the Cardinals in game 2 on Saturday, Liberatore's last start was against Pittsburgh Pirates and he went 5 innings allowing 0 earned run and had 5 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 3-1 win for the Cardinals.

Philadelphia Phillies 

Philadelphia have beaten the Cardinals 5-3 in the last game to put them on a 2 game winning streak after beating the Braves 14-4 at home too, Phillies have been playing better at home lately winning 10 of last 14 home games. Kyle Gibson will be the pitcher for Phillies tonight and he had a really good game last time he played which was against the Padres. Phillies are 4th in runs scored and 19th in runs allowed this season.

Probable pitcher:

Kyle Gibson (4-3, 4.48 ERA) will be on the mound for the Phillies in game 2 on Saturday, Gibson's last start was against San Diego Padres and he went 5 innings allowing 5 earned runs and had 2 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 8-5 win for the Phillies.
