On a night when fireworks will light up Chicago’s sky, the Cubs and Cardinals bring the heat to Wrigley Field with the NL Central race tightening and St. Louis desperate to snap a historic scoreless skid.

Chicago is at the top of the division at 52-35 while St. Louis is 5.5 games back and in third at 47-41. Last week these teams met in St. Louis for a four-game series that they split, with the Cardinals winning the first two games and the Cubs winning the last two. When: Friday, July 4 at 2:20 p.m. EDT

The Fourth of July baseball continues even up in Canada where the Toronto Blue Jays are hosting the Los Angeles Angels at Rogers Centre in Toronto on Friday.
