Cardinals look for series sweep of Pirates

May 24, 2007 - 1:34 PM Pittsburgh (19-26) at St Louis (18-25) 1:10 pm EDT

ST. LOUIS (Ticker) - The St. Louis Cardinals will try to complete a three-game series of the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday.

Chris Duncan had two RBI and former Pirate Kip Wells snapped his career-high seven-game slide for the Cardinals in a 5-3 triumph. Duncan has homered in three straight games.

Braden Looper (5-3, 3.27 ERA) takes the ball for St. Louis with the hopes of rebounding from a rough outing last time out. He was pounded for seven runs and nine hits in four innings of a 14-4 loss at Detroit.

The righthander has a 1-1 record with a 1.60 ERA in 24 career appearances, including one start, against the Pirates.

Pittsburgh sends ace Tom Gorzelanny (5-2, 2.43) to the mound. Gorzelanny allowed two runs in six frames but did not figure in the decision of a 9-8 setback to Arizona on Saturday.

The lefthander has been stellar in two starts against the defending World Series champs this season, yielding two runs in 15 1/3 innings.
