Starting pitchers look for distance as Reds visit Cards

The St. Louis Cardinals and visiting Cincinnati Reds hope to stretch out their starting pitchers when their four-game series continues Saturday.

The teams split the first two games, with the Cardinals rallying for a 5-4 victory Thursday and the Reds winning 4-2 Friday.

The Cardinals will start left-hander Kwang Hyun Kim (0-0, 3.86 ERA), who began the season in the closer's role, getting a save in his first appearance on July 24.

After the Cardinals returned from their 15-day shutdown due to their COVID-19 outbreak, Kim was moved to the rotation, and he worked 3 2/3 innings Monday against the Chicago Cubs.
