Jul 20, 2007 - 2:46 PM St Louis (43-49) at Atlanta (51-45) 7:35 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- Chuck James looks to win his third straight decision when the Atlanta Braves host the St. Louis Cardinals in the second of a four-game series Friday.

James (8-7, 3.73 ERA) has been excellent in his previous three starts, posting a 2-0 record with a 1.02 ERA and 12 strikeouts over 17 2/3 innings.

The 25-year-old lefthander pitched six scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and three walks with four strikeouts in a 5-4 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates last Saturday.

Andruw Jones blasted a home run and drove in three runs to help the Braves snap a three-game losing streak with a 10-1 victory in Thursday's contest against the Cardinals.

Jones is batting .220 with 19 home runs and 65 RBI on the season. The 30-year-old slugger has homered four times in his last seven games.

The Cardinals will counter with Adam Wainwright (8-7, 4.36), who is seeking a third straight win.

The 25-year-old Wainwright pitched seven scoreless innings in a 10-2 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. The righthander yielded just six hits and two walks with five strikeouts.

St. Louis is 3-4 on its current 10-game road trip.
