In the series opener, St. Louis right-hander Jack Flaherty (3-4, 4.81 ERA) is scheduled to oppose Pittsburgh right-hander Roansy Contreras (3-4, 4.33).

Flaherty is coming off a strong outing -- seven one-run innings Saturday against Cleveland -- but he did not earn a decision.

Flaherty has been strong against the Pirates throughout his career. He is 9-1 with a 2.57 ERA in 15 games, 14 of them starts.

It looked as if Contreras was going to have an indefinite stint in the bullpen, but that was before Vince Velasquez went back on the injured list after one truncated start.

Contreras pitched two scoreless innings in his first relief appearance of the year, Sunday at Seattle. Now he's back in the rotation, at least for now.

In his most recent start, Contreras gave up three runs in five innings on May 21 against Arizona. He did not get a decision in that game but has lost his past three decisions -- all three during Pittsburgh's miserable month of May.

Against the Cardinals, Contreras is 1-0 with a 4.43 ERA in five career appearances, four of them starts.

Dana’s Pick Under: 9.5 -112
