In the final game before the All Star Break, the Cardinals look to sweep with May on the mound. May is coming off a strong outing in his last start despite having a limited pitch count. He should not have any limit today. The Braves counter with rookie right hander Ritchie making his 8th start on the season; having thrown 45 innings with and ERA of 4.60 and a WHIP of 1.47.

Sunday is the sixth matchup of these teams this season. The Cardinals hold a 4-1 advantage in the season series.

Atlanta has a 27-22 record on the road and a 54-40 record overall. The Braves have a 39-9 record in games when they scored at least five runs.

St. Louis has a 26-25 record at home and a 50-44 record overall. Cardinals hitters are batting a collective .243, which ranks 10th in the NL.

LAST 10 GAMES

Braves: 4-6, .246 batting average, 5.42 ERA, outscored opponents by one run

Cardinals: 5-5, .217 batting average, 3.24 ERA, outscored opponents by 11 runs

[CardsofSTL]

95th game of the season for St. Louis and they are currently six games over .500.

Just 67 games in the regular season to go after the break. Would like to see an improvement in the home record where the Cards are just 1 game over .500.

Braves have swapped pitchers last minute as Danny Young will get the start.

This will either be an opener situation and Ritchie will come in for the middle innings or it is a bullpen game. The Braves say the last minute scratch is due to Ritchie's heavy workload of late so I guess that would mean he is not in the mix.

1 out walk and a ball that Burly can't handle is ruled a hit.

FC to 2nd on the next pitch for the 2nd out.
