The Cincinnati Reds return from the All-Star Break just like they headed into the All-Star Break: With a 3-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Hopefully, things go a little better than the last time these 2 teams faced off against each other, with the Reds losing 2 in a row before getting rained out on Sunday. Now, with the trade deadline looming in a couple of weeks, the narrative around the Reds changes to speculation as to what this roster will look like in August. Until that date comes around, there is still baseball to be played.
The Reds will send Graham Ashcraft to the mound to start the series off.
