NEW YORK (Interstat) — The St. Louis Cardinals look to extend their winning streak to three Tuesday night as they face the New York Yankees in the second game of a three-game series at Yankee Stadium. St. Louis enters at 56-57 after a 13-7 victory in Monday’s series opener. Alec Burleson was the catalyst, going 3 for 5 with three home runs and six RBIs. Over his last 10 games, the outfielder is batting .385 (15 for 39) with three homers and eight RBIs. Nathan Church also drove in four runs Monday, and Michael McGreevy earned the win with 4 1/3 innings of two-run ball. The Cardinals, who had lost four straight before Sunday, have now won two in a row. New York, meanwhile, is 63-50 and has the second-best record in the American League. The Yankees had won five of seven before Monday’s loss. Luis García Jr. went 2 for 4 with a home run and two RBIs in that game. Trent Grisham and Austin Wells also homered for New York. García, who has provided a boost since joining the lineup, is expected to remain a key piece against St. Louis. The weather forecast at game time calls for 76 degrees with cloudy skies. New York is a 1.5-run favorite, and the over/under is set at 8.5. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 6-3 Yankees victory, with its ELO system giving New York a 62.5 percent probability of winning. The Yankees have leaned on a balanced offense this season, and their bullpen has been a strength. But Monday’s opener showed the potential for innings to get away. St. Louis’s lineup, led by Burleson, can score in bunches. The Cardinals are 4-6 over their last 10 games, while the Yankees are 5-5 in that span. Tuesday’s matchup is the second of three between the teams. After the series finale Wednesday, St. Louis heads home to host Colorado on Friday. New York stays at home to open a weekend series against Atlanta. For the Cardinals, the key will be whether they can get production beyond Burleson. Church provided support Monday, but St. Louis has struggled for consistency all season. A win Tuesday would give the team a series victory and some much-needed momentum. For the Yankees, García’s emergence has added another threat to an already deep order. The team’s ability to bounce back from Monday’s defeat will be tested against a Cardinals squad that showed its offensive ceiling. With the wind and clouds expected, conditions may favor hitters, setting up another potentially high-scoring contest. First pitch is scheduled for Tuesday evening at Yankee Stadium.
