Cardinals seek fourth win in a row

May 31, 2008 - 1:57 PM Pittsburgh (25-29) at St. Louis (33-23) 7:15 pm EDT

ST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- The St. Louis Cardinals seek their fourth straight win when they face the Pittsburgh Pirates in the middle game of a three-game series Saturday.

Todd Wellemeyer tossed seven stellar innings and Albert Pujols hit his 14th homer to lift the Cardinals to a 5-4 victory in Friday's series opener.

Rookie Mike Parisi (0-1, 2.87 ERA) will make his first career start for the Cardinals in place of the injured Joel Pineiro (groin), who was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday.

The 25-year-old righthander has made eight appearances out of the bullpen for St. Louis manager Tony LaRussa this season, and went 2-1 with a 4.41 ERA through six starts with Class AAA Memphis.

Paul Maholm (2-5, 5.11) goes to the hill for the Pirates, who have dropped three of their last four games. Maholm seeks his first win since earning back-to-backs victories at the end of April.

The 6-2 lefthander was unsuccessful in his lone start agianst the Cardinals, giving up four runs and a season-high 11 hits during a 5-1 loss here on May 14. He is 1-3 with a 3.03 ERA lifetime against St. Louis.

Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols has 10 hits in his last 18 at-bats, raising his season average to .364. Pujols now is batting .550 (11-for-20) with five RBI against Pittsburgh this season.
