Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening. It’s all-day baseball on this Wednesday, with the Cardinals and Reds having back-to-back bouts in a doubleheader at Great American Ball Park. The NL’s No. 2 wild-card spot is up for grabs, and the race tightened again...
The Cardinals came into Cincinnati at a good time, with their pitchers having a chance to tranquilize a listless Reds offense. But would this be easy? Probably not. After a lackadaisical 2-4 road trip to Milwaukee and Miami, the Reds were returning to the Great...
