Atlanta has won four straight and six of its last eight in St. Louis dating back to 2016, including a three-game sweep from June 29 to July 1 last season. The Braves took two of the three games against the Cardinals in Atlanta from May 14-16 this season.

The Braves took three of four in San Francisco this week and have gone 10-3 since May 10 after losing their previous four. They're slugging .452 in that span, second best in the National League -- only the Rockies (.468) are better.

The Cardinals split a doubleheader with the Royals on Wednesday and are an NL-worst 6-14 (.300) this month after going 18-7 (.720) in April, including wins in 10 of their final 12 games of the month. That .420 win percentage decrease is the largest in MLB by a large margin; the Mariners rank second at -.250.

Austin Riley had three hits and three RBI in Thursday's win over the Giants,  giving him 14 hits, five home runs, and 12 RBI in his first nine career games. With a hit in his next game, he would join Pete Alonso this season as the only players in the live-ball era (since 1920) with 15+ hits and 5+ home runs in their first 10 career games.

Dexter Fowler recorded a three-hit night in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals, going 3-for-4 with two runs, including a solo home run. He's hitting .283 in 42 games this season after batting .180 last season, though he is batting just .234 in 16 games this month.

Miles Mikolas has a 0.79 WHIP in his five home starts this season compared to a 1.79 WHIP in his five road starts, the largest difference among qualified pitchers. Among NL pitchers with at least 30 innings pitched at home, only Chris Paddack (0.60), Hyun-Jin Ryu (0.65), and Zack Greinke (0.78) have lower WHIPs.

HP - Baker, 1B - Carapazza, 2B - Wendelstedt, 3B - Carlson

The Atlanta Braves hope to see more signs that right-hander Mike Foltynewicz is ready to resume his role as the team's top-of-the rotation starter when the club begins a three-game series in St. Louis on Friday.
Foltynewicz (0-3, 6.91 ERA) will be opposed by veteran St. Louis right-hander Miles Mikolas (4-4, 4.88) in the first game.

Braves' Foltynewicz seeks better effort against Cardinals

ST. LOUIS (AP)  A little lineup tweak is working out quite well for Dansby Swanson and the Atlanta Braves.
Swanson homered twice and Freddie Freeman also connected, helping Mike Foltynewicz and Atlanta beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 on Friday night.
