Preview

The Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies will play game 3 of their 3-Game series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on Friday, Cardinals tied the serie 1-1 with a win in game 2 on Saturday on the road.

St Louis Cardinals 

The Cardinals have won last night's game Vs the Phillies in the 9th inning after scoring 5 runs in the first inning only but then the Phillies came back to tie the game before losing in the last inning. Series is tied 1-1 now but the Cardinals are as good on the road winning only 3 of last 11 road games so it would be difficult for them to win this game and the series. ST Louis Cardinals are 3rd in runs scored and 8th in runs allowed this season.

Probable pitcher:

Adam Wainwright (6-5, 3.07 ERA) will be on the mound for the Cardinals in game 3 on Sunday, Wainwright's last start was against Miami Marlins and he went 7 innings allowing 0 earned run and had 9 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 9-0 win for the Cardinals.

Philadelphia Phillies 

Philadelphia Phillies won first game of the series 5-3 and then lost 6-7 in game 2 and will be looking to win this series at home tonight. Phillies are 10-5 straight up last 15 home games so they are much better at home and are the favourites to add another win with this game. Phillies are 2nd in runs scored and 20th in runs allowed this season.

Probable pitcher:

Zack Wheeler (6-4, 2.89 ERA) will be on the mound for the Phillies in game 3 on Sunday, Wheeler's last start was against Atlanta Braves and he went 6.1 innings allowing 3 earned runs and had 8 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 3-5 loss for the Phillies.
