Cardinals trying to change their luck at Wrigley

Apr 21, 2007 - 2:11 PM St Louis (7-9) at Chicago Cubs (6-10), 3:55 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) - The St. Louis Cardinals didn't have much luck against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field in 2006.

When the Cardinals play the Cubs Saturday, they'll be after their second consecutive win at Wrigley - something they haven't done since July 20, 2004.

The eventual World Series Champions went just 2-8 at the venue a year ago, but are off on the right foot this season following Friday's 2-1 win.

The Cardinals will be facing former teammate Jason Marquis (1-1, 2.65 ERA), who won 42 regular season games with St. Louis from 2004-06. The righthander is 2-4 with a 4.65 ERA in six career starts at Wrigley Field. In his last start, Marquis allowed one run over six innings in a 12-4 victory against San Diego.

Anthony Reyes (0-2, 5.40) starts for the Cardinals, who are in last place in the National League Central Division. The righthander has started two games this year with similar results - in both outings he lasted five innings, allowed three runs and took the loss.

Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols needs one home run to tie Ken Boyer (255) for second on the clubs' all-time home run list. Stan Musial holds the all-time mark with 475 homers.

Preston Wilson hit the game-deciding homer in Friday's win against the Cubs. The blast was Wilson's 17th career home run in 54 games against Chicago - his second-highest total against any opponent. Overall, the veteran outfielder is hitting .287 (58-for-202) with 47 RBI against the Cubs.

Aramis Ramirez drove in the only run for Chicago, who lost for the eighth time in 11 games. The Cubs have had a winning record during April in each of the last four seasons.
