• The Miami Marlins head back to the road to face the St. Louis Cardinals Monday after finding their footing again during their six-game homestand. The Marlins were reeling from a 1-8 road trip. Then they won two of three games against the Colorado Rockies and two of three from the Atlanta Braves.

• The Marlins are catching the depleted Cardinals in the midst of a 2-11 downturn. The Cardinals return to Busch Stadium for this three-game series after suffering a three-game sweep against the Cubs in Chicago. The Marlins will start rookie left-hander Braxton Garrett (0-1, 6.43 ERA). In his most recent outing, he allowed two runs on five hits and three walks in four innings in a 4-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday.

• Garrett, the seventh overall pick in the 2016 draft, will be making his fourth big league start and his first against the Cardinals. He was 3-1 with a 3.28 ERA in five starts at Triple-A Jacksonville this season. He is one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, but he remains a work in progress.

• The Cardinals will start Adam Wainwright (4-5, 4.03), who has been the most reliable member of their injury-battered starting rotation. He earned an 8-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday, allowing those two runs on three hits and no walks in seven innings. Wainwright is 6-2 with a 3.09 ERA in 13 career appearances against the Marlins, including 11 starts. Corey Dickerson (6-for-13 with two doubles, two RBIs) and Starling Marte (14-for-49, double, two triples, two homers, eight RBIs) have had success against him.
