While the St. Louis Cardinals have done relatively well during their grueling stretch of consecutive games, the Cincinnati Reds are trying to remain optimistic amid a disappointing 2020 campaign.
On Wednesday night, the visiting Cardinals can record a season-high fourth straight win with a series sweep of the struggling Reds, who have dropped four of their last five.
This will be the 20th consecutive day St. Louis (14-13) has played, and will be the 23rd game in that stretch because of doubleheaders.
After this series, the Cardinals will enjoy an off day on Thursday - its first since being idle nearly three weeks due to a COVID-19 outbreak.
