Cincinnati stands two games back in the National League Central race and can certainly gain ground with a successful series against St. Louis to open the week. The Reds have won four of the six meetings this season and it has been a highly-contentious series throughout. "The teams don't like each other," said Cardinals outfielder Lance Berkman. "That's just part of the deal." The team should be excited about its latest offensive performance, going 4-for-5 with runners in scoring position, picking up a 7-5 victory over the Indians Sunday. Cincinnati will also welcome back National League competition with open arms after finishing interleague play with a disastrous 6-12 record.

Reds starting pitcher Johnny Cueto is enjoying a fantastic 2011 campaign and enters with a 5-2 record and 1.84 ERA in 10 starts. The right-hander has won his last three decisions and came away with a no-decision effort last time out in Tampa Bay. In that particular start, he allowed three runs and four hits over 7 2/3 innings. Cueto has been brilliant on the road in six outings, tallying a 3-1 mark and 1.73 ERA, as opponents are hitting just .207 against him. In 10 career starts versus the Cardinals, he possesses a winning 4-3 record and 5.47 ERA.
