Dodgers starter Tony Gonsolin can become the first 12-game winner in the majors when he takes the mound on Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Gonsolin (11-0, 1.62 ERA) is tied with the Astros' Justin Verlander for the most wins in the majors. On Wednesday, Gonsolin squares off against the Cardinals' Adam Wainwright (6-7, 3.15).

First pitch is set for 7:45 p.m. ET from St. Louis. The game is one of 16 on the MLB schedule for Wednesday. Elsewhere in the majors, reigning AL MVP Shohei Ohtani makes his final start before the All-Star break, against the Astros, and the Mets and Braves play the rubber match of their important three-game series in Atlanta.
