Montgomery will have to deal with the Cards again. In his last start, he held them to one run on five hits over six innings and did not get a decision in the loss. This will be the lefty's 11th start subbing for Yu Darvish. He's 3-2 as a starter.

It will be interesting to see how Quintana bounces back after throwing 121 pitches in his last outing vs. the Cards. Working on extra rest, he gave up two runs over seven innings and got the win. The tweaks to his changeup have been working.

11-3, 2.83 ERA, 91 SO
Cardinals interim manager Mike Shildt has been aggressive in pulling Mikolas, the club’s most reliable innings-eater for much of the first half. Mikolas has thrown just nine innings over his past two starts after averaging 6.4 over his first 18.

Hendricks has gone at least five innings in 19 of his 21 starts but hasn't gone much further than that, which means the bullpen has been busy. On Tuesday, Hendricks struck out eight, matching a season high, but he went only five innings vs. Arizona.
RHP
3-4, 3.49 ERA, 50 SO
The right-hander blanked the Cubs over five innings last weekend in a 6-3 Cards win at Wrigley. He is 1-1 with a 2.22 in four starts since assuming Michael Wacha’s place in the rotation, and 3-3 with a 3.17 ERA in 13 appearances (7 starts) overall.

The best thing about Lester's last outing was that he didn't walk anyone. He also lasted six-plus innings, which is what the Cubs needed. He's 7-1 with a 3.16 ERA on the road this season, and 2-0 with a 4.00 ERA in three starts against the Pirates.
RHP
8-8, 3.74 ERA, 116 SO
Taillon is 5-4 with a 3.09 ERA over his last 11 starts, and he's held opponents to a .241 average and .647 OPS during that stretch. This will be Taillon's first start of the year against the Cubs; he has a 5.06 ERA against them in five career starts.

This will be Hamels' Cubs debut. The lefty last pitched on July 23. He's 3-3 against the Pirates in 10 career starts and 1-1 with a 1.22 ERA in five career starts at PNC Park. Hamels has done better on the road this season, posting a 4-2 record.

Kingham didn’t have much in his last start Thursday vs. the Mets, falling behind in the count then getting hit hard as he allowed six runs on seven hits in three-plus innings. He’s given up five runs over 12 innings in two starts vs. the Cubs in '18.
