Backs to the wall, Cards hope to stay in race
(MLB.com St. Louis Cardinals)

All-Star Miles Mikolas will be pitching to keep the Cards` postseason chances alive when he takes the mound on Saturday in a 12:05 p.m. CT game against the Cubs. Lefty Cole Hamels (4-2, 2.47 ERA) will start for Chicago. With 17 wins this season, Mikolas has more than any first-year Cardinal since Darryl Kile won 19 in 2000.
