St Louis Cardinals vs Cincinnati Reds

The St. Louis Cardinals will be on the road against the Cincinnati Reds in a 3 game series. The Cincinnati Reds are off a blowout loss to the Chicago Cubs where the bullpen got exploited giving up 6 earned runs after their starting pitcher had already given up 4 runs. The St. Louis Cardinals are turning to Dakota Hudson to get them on right track after a demoralizing loss, Hudson who is 0-2 in 4 starts with a 3.32 ERA. Dakota Hudson has been decent ever since his poor performance against Pittsburgh he has only given up 3 earned runs in 3 games since.
