St. Louis matched its longest winning streak since July 3-10, 1987 and continued its domination of Pittsburgh with a 3-0 victory on Wednesday. The Cardinals have won all six meetings with the Pirates this season and 10 in a row overall.

Darryl Kile tossed his ninth career shutout, scattering seven hits while retiring the final 11 batters. J.D. Drew's two-run triple capped a three-run fourth inning for all the runs that Kile needed.

Jason Schmidt was the hard-luck loser for Pittsburgh. Schmidt allowed only five hits with a pair of walks and eight strikeouts over five innings in his second appearance of the year.

Matt Morris (5-2, 2.29 ERA) will try for his fifth straight victory. Morris has allowed just three earned runs and 22 hits in his last 31 innings.

The righthander tossed a four-hit shutout against Pittsburgh on May 7 in a 7-0 victory for St. Louis. He is 2-3 lifetime against Pittsburgh.

The Pirates will give the baseball to Todd Ritchie (0-4, 4.34). Ritchie opposed Morris in the loss on May 7 and lost despite allowing a pair of earned runs and six hits in six innings. Ritchie fell to 1-4 against the Cardinals.

St. Louis has outscored Pittsburgh, 43-12, in its six victories this season.

The Cardinals' longest winning streak since 1970 came from April 10-23, 1982, when they won 12 straight.

The Pirates have dropped 14 out of their last 18 games.
