Play: St. Louis Cardinals
Rating: 8*

The Pittsburgh Pirates are on a roll with six consecutive wins, a pair of victories here at Busch Field included. I like the Cardinals to end the Bucs' winning streak Wednesday night.

Left-hander Jaime Garcia (6-6, 3.84) takes the ball for St. Louis. He held Milwaukee to one run on four hits in eight solid innings on Friday. Garcia is 2-1 in six career games against Pittsburgh with an 0.57 ERA.

The Pirates turn to Jeff Locke (8-6, 5.13 ERA) who is 3-4 with a 7.16 ERA in nine starts away from PNC Park this year. He's 2-4 with a 4.04 ERA in nine career starts against St. Louis while averaging only 5.4 innings per outing.

Pirates are 2-8 in Locke's last 10 road starts vs. a team with a winning record and 0-4 in Locke's last four road starts vs. Cardinals.
