 The Cardinals have gone 60-42 (.588) all-time against the Royals, the best record all-time between any two interleague opponents to matchup at least 100 times.

 The Royals won their last two against the Tigers by a combined score of 17-2, the first two-game span with at least a +15 run differential for the Royals since July 2017. However, the team has either lost or tied five straight series -- only the Pirates have a longer active streak (nine).

 The Cardinals swept the Pirates in three games, their third consecutive series that resulted in a sweep (and the first of the three that they won). St. Louis hit .323 as a team in the series, its second-highest in any series this season (.365 vs. Brewers, April 22-24).

 Paul Goldschmidt had four hits last time out, his first four-hit game since March 29. He hit his 10th home run in 28 games since the All-Star break after hitting 16 in 88 games prior to the break.

 Jorge Soler has seven home runs and 14 runs scored in August -- both marks are one shy of the MLB-lead. He reached base five times in his last game, his first time doing so since May 2015.

 Alex Gordon, who has gone 3-for-36 (.083) in August, has also posted a .395/.452/.737 slash line in 10 interleague games this season. These will also be the team's first home games of the month -- Gordon has hit .302 at home this season and .232 on the road.

The resumption of the I-70 rivalry pits the Cardinals, who are battling for a National League wild-card spot, against the Royals, who are discovering which young players might be part of their future.

Royals back home for I-70 series vs. Cards

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)  The two words that Cardinals manager Mike Shildt kept using to describe the reasons behind Jack Flaherty's phenomenal pitching success since the All-Star break were conviction and command.
The Royals probably have a few choice words to describe Flaherty, too.
