Pitching Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>St. Louis:</b> Austin Gomber (3-0 2.89 ERA)<br />
<b>L.A.:</b> Alex Wood (7-6 3.51 ERA)
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
In Gomber’s last start he was sharp tossing six scoreless innings and only allowing three hits but did give up four walks while striking out six in a 4-2 win over the Washington Nationals in his first home start. The Cardinals have won his last three starts, and in his previous two, he has pitched a combined 11 innings allowing zero runs. Gomber is a rookie, and in his first four starts in the Majors, he is 2-0 with an ERA of 2.53, and he also has 17 relief appearances. This will be Gomber’s early career start against the Dodgers.

<p>
In Wood’s last start he gave up one earned run on three hits in five innings, but got little help in a 2-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants. The Dodgers have lost his last two starts even though he only gave up one earned run in each of those outings. Wood has not given up more than two earned runs in his last four starts and in two career appearances against the Cardinals he has lasted seven innings and given up two runs. The Dodgers have lost five of Wood’s last seven home starts facing a team with a winning record.
