The Cardinals will seek their sixth consecutive victory, which would tie their season high achieved July 21-26. Riding two successive shutouts, they are seeking three in a row for the first time since August 2015.
Righthander Michael Wacha will seek his first victory as a starter since June 21. Wacha is 7-1 at Great American Ball Park with a 2.53 earned run average. But he hasn’t faced new Reds slugger Aristides Aquino, who has nine homers and 17 runs batted in, plus a .386 batting average for his first 13 games.
