The St. Louis Cardinals had lost eight of 14 before coming through with a 4-1 win against Miami Thursday afternoon. I think they're ready to go on a run, starting with a win at Cincinnati Friday night.

Cardinals right-hander Luke Weaver (3-5, 4.11 ERA) beat the Reds 5-3 on April 13, when he gave up two runs in six innings. He limited Pittsburgh to one run on four hits over five innings his last time out.

Reds righty Matt Harvey (1-4, 5.79 ERA) was tagged with five runs (four earned) and six hits over five innings at San Diego on Saturday and he has allowed a total of eight earned runs through his last two starts.

Cardinals are 7-2 in Weavers last 9 starts vs. a team with a losing record and 14-13 on the road this season. Reds are 14-40 in their last 54 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

8* play on St. Louis Cardinals.
