Match-Up With Dodgers Highlights Cardinals Top Priced Tickets In May

The St. Louis Cardinals currently sit atop the National League Central, but will have to play on without their ace, Adam Wainwright.

Matt Carpenter leads the team in doubles (14), hits (35), home runs (4) and slugging percentage (.624) while Matt Holliday has a robust .462 on-base percentage. May marks St. Louis’s first full month without Wainwright in fold.
