 St. Louis and Pittsburgh play a three-game set, their last series against one another this year. The Cardinals are 12-4 against the Pirates this year and have won the season series each of the previous five seasons. St. Louis has scored 6.83 runs per game in PNC Park this season, their most in any ballpark.

 The Cardinals had an MLB-high 133 errors last year but have the fewest errors in baseball this season with 59. No team in major league history has gone from worst to first in total errors in consecutive seasons.

 The Pirates dropped two of three against the Marlins but are 9-4 in their last 13 games after starting the second half 8-30. Over their 13-game hot stretch, Pittsburgh is batting .318 as a team with 21 home runs and a .906 OPS.

 Yadier Molina enters the series on a 12-game hit streak, the longest active streak in the majors. Molina entered play on Aug. 23 slashing .253/.285/.352 but has a slash line of .435/.490/.783 since starting his streak. He has as many homers (four) in his last 10 games as he had in his first 83 games of the year.

 Bryan Reynolds is batting .267 and slugging .356 against the Cardinals this year, compared to a .340 batting average and .559 slugging percentage against all other opponents. Since Aug. 1, Reynolds is second in the majors with 47 hits (Anthony Rendon, Was, 49).

 The Cardinals took three of four from the Giants with Paul DeJong hitting two home runs in the series. His 26 home runs this season are the most ever by a Cardinals shortstop, breaking his own previous record of 25 in 2017.
