(My Sportsbook) - The St. Louis Cardinals will play the rubber contest of their three-game set versus the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field today. St. Louis won the opener 6-3 on Friday, but the Cubs bounced back with a 3-2 triumph yesterday. Scott Rolen homered and J.D. Drew drove in a run for the Cardinals, who have lost five of their last six games. Brett Tomko will get the call on the hill for St. Louis today. The 30-year-old righthander will make his eighth start of the year. He doesn't have a decision in his last two outings. In his most recent start, Tuesday at Cincinnati, he didn't get a decision as he left after eight innings with a 5-4 lead, only to see Barry Larkin belt a pinch-hit a two-run homer in the ninth. Tomko is just 1-4 in six career games versus the Cubs. St. Louis has won eight of its last 10 versus the Cubs. |
