Cardinals Host Braves in Washington to Open Three-Game Series

The St. Louis Cardinals sit third in the NL Central, while the Atlanta Braves sit atop the NL East.

Both clubs have been propelled by strong offenses this season, with the Cardinals relying on their veteran left‑fielder and the Braves showcasing a rising rookie star. The opening game of their three‑game series will be played at Washington's Nationals Park, a venue that could influence the early standings race for both teams.
