Weaver against Cubs 2-0 2.65 era 17 IP
Jeff Weaver (1-1, 6.52 ERA) looks to build off of his first win as a Cardinal in his third start for the club. Weaver, who was obtained from the Los Angeles Angels in a July 5 trade, allowed one run and six hits in 5 2-3 innings of a 6-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.
Hill against STL 0-0 9.0 era 2 IP
The Cubs counter with rookie Rich Hill (0-4, 9.31), who makes his first start since May 20. Hill takes the rotation spot of Sean Marshall, who was placed on the 15-day DL with a strained left oblique muscle on Sunday.
The left-hander is 0-6 with a 9.21 ERA in 14 career major league games, but is 7-1 with a 1.80 ERA in 15 starts this season for Triple-A Iowa.
Hill allowed two runs and three walks in two innings of relief in his only career appearance against the Cardinals, a 6-1 loss on Sept. 15. He did not factor in the decision.
St. Louis has been playing some of its best baseball of the season since the All-Star break, though, with Pujols leading the way.
The Cardinals have won 10 of 13 since the Midsummer Classic, while Pujols has batted .386 (17-for-44) with four homers and 10 RBIs.
The Cardinals have won five of six on their 10-game road trip, and eight of their last nine on the road overall.
