Cardinals aim to take series from Royals

Jun 14, 2007 - 1:17 PM St Louis (28-34) at Kansas City (25-41) 8:10 pm EDT

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) - The St. Louis Cardinals face the Kansas City Royals in the rubber game of a three-game series Thursday.

Adam Wainwright pitched eight outstanding innings and Albert Pujols drove in three runs as the Cardinals coasted to a 7-3 victory on Wednesday night.

It was the ninth victory in the last 11 games for the Cardinals here. Overall, St. Louis has won 13 of its last 17 games played between the two intrastate rivals.

Kip Wells (2-10, 6.33 ERA) takes the mound for the Cardinals. Wells continued to struggled this season, allowing three runs and seven hits in five frames of Friday's 10-6 loss to Anaheim.

Despite his 8.75 ERA against Kansas City, the 6-3 righthander has managed a 3-2 record through six lifetime - five starts - appearances.

The Royals will counter with Scott Elarton (2-2, 7.34), who picked up his first home win in his last outings and survived three home runs of an 8-4 victory over Philadelphia.

Kansas City might have to rely on its bullpen as Elarton has yet to work more than 5 2/3 innings in any contest.
