Runs have been awfully hard to come by for the St. Louis Cardinals, who have been shut out in consecutive games. Tonight they will try their luck against the Royals James Shields (6-3, 3.36 ERA) as the Cardinals will send lefty Jaime Garcia (1-0, 4.12 ERA) to the hill. The Royals have really responded when Shields gets the ball as they have won the last five starts he has made and eight of the last nine. Shields pitched really well early in the season but has been roughed up in his past two outings. Garcia hasn't faced the Cardinals since 2011, but does have an 0-1 record with a 7.30 ERA in those starts. The Cardinals have lost five of their last six games and hitting has been a big problem, batting just .200 in those games. The Royals have also really enjoyed some success against LHP, as they are 14-6 in their last 20 road games vs. a left-handed starter. They have also handled this interleague thing pretty well as they are 5-1 this season in IL games. Too much value here for us to ignore the road puppy!
