Wells, Cardinals look to close in on Brewers
Jul 29, 2007 - 3:22 PM Milwaukee (57-48) at St Louis (48-53) 2:15 pm EDTST. LOUIS (Ticker) - After picking up two games on Saturday, the St. Louis Cardinals will hope to gain even more ground in the division title chase when they host the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday in the finale of a four-game series.
The Cardinals bested the Brewers in both games of Sunday's doubleheader. Ryan Ludwick's RBI single capped a three-run, ninth-inning comeback in a 7-6 victory in Game One and Jim Edmonds had two RBI in a 5-2 win in the second contest.
St. Louis sits in third place in the National League Central division, seven games behind Milwaukee, which has led the division for the majority of the season.
The Cardinals will turn to Kip Wells (4-13, 5.57 ERA) in hopes of picking up their fourth victory over their last five contests. The 30-year-old Texas native is tied with Chicago White Sox righthander Jose Contreras for the major-league lead in losses.
He will be opposed by rookie Yovani Gallardo (3-1, 2.18), who has been victorious in his previous two starts, surrendering just one run over 12 2/3 innings. The 21-year-old Mexican is making just his ninth career start.
