The Cardinals magic number to seal up the final wild card spot in the National League is down to two and the club has won six of the last eight games. St. Louis won two of three matchups with Washington over the weekend and recorded a 10-4 triumph in Sundays series finale even though winning pitcher Lance Lynn gave up four runs in 5 1/3 innings. Lynn improved to 18-7 on the season and struck out nine batters. Carlos Beltran homered twice and finished with five RBI for St. Louis, which is two games ahead of Los Angeles for the last postseason spot. "Theres a lot of teams that would love to be in the position that we are in," Beltran said. "You know, competing for a chance to get in the playoffs. Were playing really good as a team right now." Beltran is three RBI away from his first 100-RBI season since 2008. Jaime Garcia gets the start for the Cardinals this evening and is 6-7 with a 3.99 earned run average through 19 starts. Garcia has won two starts in a row and is 3-1 over his last four decisions, and defeated Houston the previous time out in a 4-0 win last Tuesday. Garcia delivered seven scoreless innings and scattered six hits. He has faced Cincinnati 12 times in his career (10 starts), going 7-2 with a 3.39 ERA. Meanwhile, the NL Central-champion Reds are tied with Washington for the best record in baseball and are coming off a series triumph at Pittsburgh. In Sundays 4-3 victory at PNC Park, Zack Cozart hit a go-ahead RBI double with two out as part of a two-run ninth inning, while Sean Marshall hurled a 1-2-3 eighth to pick up the win. Aroldis Chapman struck out two during a scoreless ninth and tallied his 37th save of the season. Gunning for the clubs first 20-game winner since Danny Jackson in 1988, Johnny Cueto surrendered three runs -- one earned -- on six hits in seven innings for the no-decision. "I really, really want to give Johnny every opportunity to get 20 wins, but it was just one of those things that didnt work out," Reds interim manager Chris Speier said. Reds manager Dusty Baker is expected to be back in the dugout tonight and has been recovering from an irregular heartbeat and mini stroke. Bronson Arroyo will start for the Reds tonight and he is 12-9 with a 3.70 earned run average in 31 starts. He is 0-2 in his past three outings and was beaten by Milwaukee in last Wednesdays 8-1 loss in which he allowed four runs in six innings. Arroyo, a right-hander and Key West native, has faced St. Louis 32 times (30 starts) in his career and is 8-12 with a 4.54 ERA. The Reds and Cardinals have split 12 meetings this season, but Cincinnati has won five of the last seven encounters. Dodgers start do-or-die set with Giants (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Dodgers are one victory shy of matching their longest winning streak of the year.dddddddddddd If they hope to make the playoffs, theyll need to set a new season high and get some help. The Dodgers begin a do-or-die three-game series on Monday night with the San Francisco Giants still on the outside of the wild card picture. Despite a victory in five straight games -- their longest string of victories since another five-game run from July 18-23 -- the Dodgers sit two games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the second wild card in the NL with three to play. While Los Angeles hosts NL West-champion San Francisco, St. Louis is taking on the Cincinnati Reds, who have already won the NL Central. Los Angeles got two-run homers from Matt Kemp, Luis Cruz and A.J. Ellis in Sundays 7-1 win over the Colorado Rockies and have outscored its opponents 34-7 over the five-game win streak. The Dodgers have won a season-high six games in a row twice this year, last doing so on May 17-22. "We painted ourselves into this corner," said Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. "If we do what we have to do, St. Louis will have to win two games. Were forcing them to win games." Mattingly turns to veteran Aaron Harang, who won for the first time in six starts on Wednesday at the San Diego Padres. He scattered four hits and four walks over 5 1/3 scoreless innings, striking out three in his first victory since Aug. 18. The 34-year-old righty is 10-10 with a 3.68 earned run average in 30 starts this season and will face the Giants for the first time in 2012. He is 7-7 against them in 17 career starts with a 3.22 ERA. Things wont be easy for the Dodgers tonight as they square off with the Giants Matt Cain, who is likely to start Game 1 of the National League Division Series and gets one final tuneup tonight. Cain has won three straight starts, giving up just two runs in that span, and is 6-0 with a 2.18 ERA over his last nine outings. He logged seven shutout innings in a win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday, working around four hits and a walk with six strikeouts. The right-hander, who will pitch on his 28th birthday, is 16-5 this season with a 2.77 ERA. He has made three starts in 2012 versus the Dodgers, going 1-0 with a 2.53 ERA. That has made Cains career numbers in this series a bit more respectable as he sits 4-8 lifetime against the Dodgers with a 3.40 ERA. The Giants have won four of their last five and rallied for a 7-5 win over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. Down by a run in the ninth, Xavier Nady hit a pinch-hit solo homer to even things up and Hunter Pence added a go-ahead two-run homer in the frame. "I liked the way the guys kept getting after it, especially after it was ugly there early," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. San Francisco has won five of its last six versus Los Angeles and lead the season series 9-6. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
