St. Louis at Cincinnati

Cincinnati goes for two in a row over St. Louis in this series after winning Friday's game 6-5 when Tyler Stephenson drove in a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and Joey Votto had three hits. The Reds are holding onto second place in the NL Central and the Cardinals are only 21-29 on the road. Luis Castillo has pitched much better than his record indicates lately and he has given up just five runs his last five starts in 31 2/3 innings, including six shutout innings on five hits against Milwaukee last Saturday. Jake Woodford will make just his second start for St. Louis and he has allowed 14 runs in 31 innings in mostly relief work this year. Cincinnati has beaten the Cardinals five times in a row, including a four-game sweep in early June. St. Louis is 5-15 its past 20 road games. Take the Reds.
