 The Cardinals are back at .500 again, dropping their series finale against the Reds after winning three in a row. St. Louis has been at .500 10 different times this season, most by any team in MLB.

 Yesterday's loss to the Pirates snapped a 10-game streak of the Cubs hitting at least one home run. In their last 20 games, 49.5 percent of their runs have come via the home run -- they accounted for just 38.4 percent of the team's runs in their first 17 games.

 The Cardinals and Cubs have a five-game series through Monday with a doubleheader on Saturday. They played five games from August 17-19, as a previous series was postponed due to COVID-19 concerns. It is the first time this historic matchup has had two five-game series in a season since 1929.

 Brad Miller (1.131) and Paul Goldschmidt (.995) combine to have a 1.053 OPS this season, second best by any teammate duo in baseball this season (minimum 75 PA). Only Washington's duo of Juan Soto and Trea Turner (1.119) have a higher OPS.

 After a five-game hitless streak, Jason Heyward is 11-for-25 (.440) with a 1.545 OPS in his last eight games. It has raised his batting average to .300 on the year, the first time he's been at or above the .300 mark since May 5 of last season.

 This will be the fifth night game played on a Friday at Wrigley Field this season. Since the ballpark installed lights in 1988, there were only five Friday night games played at Wrigley entering this season (including the postseason).

HP - Bacchus, 1B - Hernandez, 2B - Bellino, 3B - Little

Already adjusting to a host of past and looming doubleheaders due to postponements related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the St. Louis Cardinals now must shuffle their pitching staff to account for an injury to a thriving contributor.
Left-hander Kwang Hyun Kim was set to start Sunday night's game against the host Chicago Cubs, but his recent diagnosis with a kidney ailment has landed him on the 10-day disabled list. Right-hander Dakota Hudson (1-2, 2.77 ERA) will get the call instead; the Cardinals pushed his scheduled start in the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader back by one day.

Cardinals continue to adjust as they visit Cubs

CHICAGO (AP)  Paul Goldschmidt's drive got up and just kept going, soaring out of a windy Wrigley Field on Sunday night.
When it landed, St. Louis was well on its way to another big win in Chicago.
