 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 - Lentz, 1B - Bellino, 2B - Little, 3B - Bacchus

The visiting St. Louis Cardinals will try to tighten the NL Central race further when they face the Chicago Cubs on Monday.
The second-place Cardinals (17-15) have won three straight games over the first-place Cubs (23-18) at Wrigley Field to move within 1 1/2 games of the division lead.

Hendricks went eight innings, and the NL Central-leading Cubs beat the second-place St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 on Monday.
