The teams will play a single game Friday night, two games Saturday then one game Sunday. St Louis leads the National League Central by 1 1/2 games over Chicago. Dakota Hudson (13-6) starts for the Cardinals while Trevor Bauer (10-11) goes for the Reds.
Royals designated hitter Jorge Soler continued his march toward franchise history, clubbing his 37th home run in Kansas City’s 9-8 loss to the A’s on Thursday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium.
Soler passed Steve Balboni, who once held the club season record for home runs with 36 (1985), for second place all-time, and now is within one of Mike Moustakas’ record of 38 (2017).
