Summary
- Tarik Skubal boasts a 3.00 ERA with 37 strikeouts in his first month.
- Will Smith will catch Skubal for the first time in a Dodgers start.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to conclude their home series against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium. Pitching for the Dodgers will be Tarik Skubal, who has made a strong impression in his first month with the team.
Skubal has recorded a 3.00 ERA over five starts, pitching 30 innings and striking out 37 batters. He has also shown good control, with only seven walks and two home runs allowed. This outing will be notable as it's the first time Will Smith will be catching Skubal in a Dodgers game, though they have prior experience pitching together.
On the other side, the Cardinals are expected to start left-handed pitcher Quinn Mathews, who will be making his fifth appearance in a major league start. The Cardinals may also see Tommy Edman return to second base for this game.
