Sonny Gray will pitch for St. Louis in the first game, and Erick Fedde will start for the Cardinals in the series finale. Sean Burke and Adrian Houser will take the mound for Chicago.
The 35-year-old Gray is looking to bounce back after he was tagged for six runs and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings in a 6-0 loss at Milwaukee last week. The veteran right-hander is 4-1 with a 3.57 ERA in his last seven starts.
Fedde is looking for his first win since May 9. He was traded by Chicago to St. Louis as part of a three-team deal in July 2024 that also included the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Cardinals are 5-10 in June. They beat the last-place White Sox 12-2 in the series opener on Tuesday night.
Chicago has dropped six in a row and seven of eight overall.

LSU capitalizes on big break in 9th for a 6-5 walk-off win over Arkansas for CWS finals berth
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Jared Jones hit a line drive that glanced off a glove for the winning run moments after LSU got a big break to tie the game, and the Tigers posted a 6-5 walk-off victory over SEC rival Arkansas on Wednesday night to advance to the College World Series finals. The Tigers (51-15) will play for their second national championship in three years when they square off against Coastal Carolina in the best-of-three finals starting Saturday. Arkansas (50-15) took a two-run lead in the top of the ninth on Justin Thomas' tie-breaking single and looked ready to force a second bracket final against the Tigers on Thursday. Instead, the Razorbacks' season ended in heartbreak in Omaha again. The Tigers beat Arkansas for the fourth time in five meetings this season, including 4-1 last Saturday in the teams' CWS opener. They are 5-0 all-time in CWS meetings with the Razorbacks. LSU put two men on base with one out in the bottom of the ninth against Cole Gibler. Steven Milam grounded to short, and Wehiwa Aloy opted to get the lead runner at third rather than try for a game-ending double play. Luis Hernandez then came up and sent a hard liner to left. Charles Davalan slipped as he broke for the ball and it deflected off his right shoulder. Davalan chased the ball down as Ethan Frey and Milam scored easily. Jones, whose team-best 22nd homer of the season tied it 3-all in the eighth, shot a line drive up the middle that bounced off second baseman Cam Kozeal's glove, and Hernandez scored from second ahead of the throw home, setting off an LSU celebration in center field. ___ AP college sports:

Diamondbacks OF Carroll exits game at Toronto after being hit on left hand by pitch
TORONTO (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll exited Wednesday's 8-1 loss at Toronto in the eighth inning after he was hit on his left hand by a pitch. Manager Torey Lovullo said X-rays did not reveal a fracture. Carroll stayed in to run the bases after being hit by a 91 mph sinker from rookie left-hander Justin Bruihl. But he was replaced before the bottom half of the eighth. Alek Thomas took Carroll's spot in the lineup, with Tim Tawa moving from center field to right. Lovullo said Carroll was hit on the fleshy part of the hand below his pinkie, resulting in a contusion. 'It's a very dangerous spot when you're talking about that bone on the pinkie side,' Lovullo said. 'It got a lot of meat, so we're grateful for that.' Carroll's status for Thursday's series finale was unclear. 'I wouldn't be surprised if he tells me he wants to play tomorrow,' Lovullo said. 'We're going to keep an open mind, we're going to continue to evaluate him tonight through the night and into the morning and see how he feels.' Carroll tripled and scored Arizona's only run. The 2023 NL Rookie of the Year is batting .255 with 20 homers and 44 RBIs. Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno was unavailable for a second consecutive game because of a sore right hand. A former Blue Jays prospect, Moreno was scratched from the lineup Tuesday after injuring his hand during batting practice. 'We'll continue to push on day to day with him,' Lovullo said. Wednesday's loss was Arizona's third straight after winning the previous five. 'These are frustrating times,' Lovullo said. ___ AP MLB:

Anthony Volpe's error, more listless at-bats push Yankees to 6th straight loss
Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered in the second inning to end New York's 30-inning scoreless streak, but an error in the eighth inning gave Los Angeles a tiebreaking run, and the Angels beat the Yankees 3-2 Wednesday night, handing New York its sixth straight loss. Mike Trout and Taylor Ward opened the eighth by drawing walks off Fernando Cruz (1-3), and Luis Rengifo walked on four pitches to load the bases. Jo Adell hit a 105.9-mph grounder to New York shortstop Anthony Volpe, who bobbled the ball and threw wide of second, allowing Trout to score. The Yankees lost for the eighth time in 18 games, and their losing streak is the longest since they lost nine straight from Aug. 12-23, 2023. Chisholm ended New York's longest run-scoring drought since a 33-inning skid Sept. 22-25, 2016, when his drive down the right field line stayed inside the foul pole and tied the game at 1. Cody Bellinger homered to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead in the fourth before the Angels' Jo Adell hit a tying homer on the first pitch of the fifth off Ryan Yarbrough. Bellinger made the final out of the eighth by fouling out with two on. Aaron Judge went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts as his average dipped to .366. Nolan Schanuel homered three pitches into the game for the Angels, who won a fifth straight game at Yankee Stadium -- the old or new version -- for the first time in team history. Jack Kochanowicz allowed two runs and two hits in 5 2/3 innings. The right-hander finished with a career-high eight strikeouts and walked three. Kenley Jansen struck out Volpe to secure his 15th save. KEY MOMENTS Giancarlo Stanton batted for Ben Rice in the seventh and flew out to left field against Hector Neris (3-1). In the sixth, Bellinger hit an infield single, but Trent Grisham was called out at second when his leg touched the ball. Paul Goldschmidt lined out on the next pitch. KEY STAT Stanton is 5 for 47 in his career as a pinch hitter. UP NEXT New York LHP Carlos Rodón (8-5, 3.01 ERA) opposes Los Angeles LHP Tyler Anderson (2-4, 3.44) on Thursday.
