Game Preview
St. Louis Cardinals starter Sonny Gray faces a challenging rematch with his previous team, the Cincinnati Reds. Gray, who has a career 0-3 record and 5.82 ERA against Cincinnati from his time there between 2019 and 2021, will pitch in the final game of a three-game set at home.
The Reds took the opener 3-0 on Tuesday, but the Cardinals clinched a narrow 2-1 victory on Wednesday, halting Cincinnati’s three-game win streak. In their last meeting, Gray yielded five runs to the Reds, including homers by Spencer Steer and Elly De La Cruz on August 12.
Despite recent struggles against Cincinnati, Gray enters the matchup in good form, having surrendered just two runs over his last two starts, which spanned 13 innings against the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers.
The Cardinals have had trouble generating offense, although Paul Goldschmidt has been an exception with a .361 average in September. He contributed a crucial RBI double in Wednesday’s win.
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol noted the team’s solid contact despite limited results, while Reds manager David Bell praised his pitchers for stepping up amid injuries to key starters, with the bullpen and starters both performing strongly.
The Reds will counter with Jakob Junis, who has maintained a 3.24 ERA over 11 outings since joining Cincinnati from Milwaukee. Junis has a past record of 0-1 with a 2.48 ERA in nine career games, including five starts, against St. Louis.
This game offers St. Louis an opportunity to secure the series win and provides Gray another shot at overcoming his former squad.
