The Cardinals took two of three games from the Reds in St. Louis over the weekend. The Cards are 12-4 at home this season and 5-6 on the road. St. Louis' rotation has a 3.49 ERA at home and a 6.58 ERA away from home.

The Nationals dropped two of three games to the Padres in Washington over the weekend, their third consecutive series loss. The Nats have won the series opener just once this season (at the Mets on April 4) and have scored five or more runs in just one of those games (five runs on April 22 at the Rockies).

The Cardinals and Nationals met in the 2012 NLDS with the Cardinals winning the series in five games. Since then, St. Louis has gone 25-14 against Washington, the second-best record by an NL club against the Nats since 2013 (LAD, 27-12; regular and postseason).

Patrick Corbin, who has posted a quality start in each of his five starts this year, has won his past two games after getting a no decision in his first three. Corbin is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA in his last three starts against the Cardinals.

Howie Kendrick hit his fourth home run of the season against the Padres over the weekend. Kendrick has driven at least one run in 10 of the 12 games in which he has recorded two or more at-bats this season.

Jose Martinez is batting .438 in his last 15 games, dating back to April 11. That is the highest batting average in the National League among hitters with at least 40 plate appearances over that span.

Washington ace Max Scherzer, looking to shake off an uncharacteristic first month of the season, will face his hometown team Wednesday as the Nationals host the St. Louis Cardinals in the third game of a four-game series.
Scherzer, 34, graduated from Parkway Central High near St. Louis and was a standout at the University of Missouri. He was drafted by Arizona out of Missouri in 2006 when Mike Rizzo, now the Washington general manager, was with the Diamondbacks.
