St. Louis at Cincinnati 7L10 ET
Reds over Cardinals- It happens every year, a club is 'hot' before the All-Star break and the time off breaks their momentum. This year that team is the Reds who were on a 4-game win streak and had posted victories in nine of 14 games. Since the break Cincinnati is 0-4 and will be sending Luis Castillo (5-8, 5.49 ERA) against St. Louis and he is 0-3 with a 5.24 ERA on four career starts against the Redbirds. The struggling Cardinals have lost six of nine and will start Daniel Poncedeleon who at 26 has found the 'Fountain of Youth' making his first MLB start at after a season when he had brain surgery after being struck in the head by a line drive. Sorry, dude great story but this comeback falls short. Take CINCINNATI!
