Pirates look to get back on track against Cardinals

Jul 31, 2007 - 2:38 PM St Louis (42-61)at Pittsburgh (42-61) 7:05 pm EDT

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) - The Pittsburgh Pirates will look to snap a three-game losing streak on Tuesday when the St. Louis Cardinals come to town for a three-game series.

The Pirates have lost 13 of 15 games since the All-Star break and are happy to return home for six games after a 1-5 road trip with games against the Mets and the Phillies.

Despite the dismal record, Xavier Nady has been a bright spot with nine hits in his last 27 at-bats. Nady is 4-of-8 this season against Cardinal starter Adam Wainwright (9-8, 4.45 ERA) who will be on the hill Tuesday night.

The Pirates will counter with pitcher Paul Maholm (7-12, 4.57). He will be looking to win his third consecutive decision after winning back-to-back starts for the first time this season.

While the Pirates continue to struggle, the Cardinals are on a three-game winning streak after taking three of four at home over the weekend from National League Central Division leaders the Milwaukee Brewers.
