The St. Louis Cardinals take a day off today, and they need it to recover from a miserable road trip that saw them go 3-5, including a loss to the Reds yesterday 7-3. The Redbirds open a series at home with the Chicago Cubs on Friday.
The Kansas City Royals wrapped up a home stand that saw them win 4 of 6, with a loss yesterday to the Detroit Tigers.
Its back to action tonight for the Royals in game 1 of a 4 game set in New York with the Yankees. The road trip also includes stops in Chicago and Minnesota.
