With their offense struggling in the first two games of this four-game series, the Los Angeles Dodgers hope to break out tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals in a matchup of division leaders.

Los Angeles is 2 for 16 with runners in scoring position in this series, scoring one run on 20 hits in the last two games. The Dodgers have lost 16 of 19 in St. Louis since the start of the 2004 season.

Clayton Kershaw looks to help the Dodgers get back into the win column.

Kershaw, who hasn’t lost since June 10, failed to win his fourth straight start and sixth consecutive decision despite another strong performance Friday in his team’s 6-3 loss to Florida.

In two starts against the Cardinals, Kershaw is 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA.

Joel Pineiro has been outstanding lately for St. Louis.

The righthander is 2-0 with a 4.73 ERA in two starts versus the Dodgers.
