KEY GAME INFORMATION
CINCINNATI: CINCINNATI (AP) - Bryan Price's father worked for a savings and loan that had San Francisco Giants season tickets and would make some of them available to employees.
Any team was good to see. Two were best.
''So you go in there and battle for tickets to certain games,'' Price said. ''And I would circle the Reds and the Dodgers.''
He loved how the franchises were stocked with stars. He knew it would be fun watching them play his hometown Giants. He even dreamed of some playing or working for one of those teams.
That's why the last six weeks of spring training left him with a too-good-to-be-true feeling at times. He's managing the Reds, one of those teams he loved to see.
''It's almost a constant, surreal experience for me at this point,'' he said in February.
The surreal part gave way to reality pretty fast.
Starter Mat Latos had knee surgery the day spring training opened. Closer Aroldis Chapman got hit in the head by a line drive and is out for at least a month after having a plate put into his forehead. Starter Homer Bailey strained his groin. Relievers Jonathan Broxton and Sean Marshall aren't ready to start the season.
ST LOUIS: ST. LOUIS (AP) - Last October, the St. Louis Cardinals were sufficiently flush with arms that they carried rookie Shelby Miller and deposed closer Edward Mujica in ceremonial roles and made it to Game 6 of the World Series against Boston.
After leading major league rookies with 15 wins, Miller was limited to one postseason inning due to concerns about a heavy workload. Mujica was used only in mop-up duty after mid-September.
The National League champions are perhaps even deeper, across the board, entering opening day March 31 at Cincinnati. The team that tied for the major league high with 97 wins has a surplus of viable candidates.
''I think we have the potential to be great,'' said ace Adam Wainwright, who won 19 games and finished second in NL Cy Young balloting. ''We just have to go out there, not listen to the hype, and perform.''
The 32-year-old Wainwright qualifies as the grizzled leader of a rotation that could include three members coming off big rookie debuts. Michael Wacha was a postseason sensation and the NLCS MVP, Miller went wire-to-wire as the fifth starter and Carlos Martinez, who's had an impressive spring, moved into the setup role when fellow rookie Trevor Rosenthal took over as closer.
Wacha and Martinez are 22, Miller and Rosenthal just 23.
There's also 15-game winner Lance Lynn, who struck out 10 in four innings of his last spring training start, and lefty Jaime Garcia could fit into the mix sometime in April coming off shoulder surgery. And don't forget Joe Kelly, another rookie who won 10 games and was the rotation's strongest starter much of the second half.
And one of the National League's best lineups, too.
Much is expected from a loyal fan base that extends several states, and that's OK.
''Our expectations,'' Lynn said, ''are higher than theirs.''

*Reds-Cardinals Preview* ========================

By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer

Cincinnati (71-83) at St. Louis (86-68), 8:05 p.m. EDT

Lance Lynn seems to be the ideal person to have on the mound for the St. Louis Cardinals with an opportunity to secure a fourth consecutive playoff appearance.

The problem is that they haven't been able to score much during his recent starts.

St. Louis looks to provide Lynn with some support as it seeks an eighth victory in nine games Sunday night against the visiting Cincinnati Reds.

The Cardinals (87-68) dropped their magic number to one for a postseason spot and five for its second straight NL Central title with Saturday's 8-4 win over the slumping Reds.

Tony Cruz hit a three-run homer, Kolten Wong had a two-run blast and Randal Grichuk added a solo shot for St. Louis, which has won four straight. It holds a 3 1/2-game lead on second-place Pittsburgh after the Pirates fell 1-0 to Milwaukee.

"I like the home runs," manager Mike Matheny said. "You guys always accuse me of not liking them, but especially those three-runners that Tony did. We know we have the kind of team that can do that and it's nice to see them."

That type of offensive output surely would help Lynn (15-9, 2.68 ERA), who has continued to pitch well lately - especially against the Reds. He's 2-1 with a 1.80 ERA over his last six starts, a stretch that began with seven scoreless innings in a 7-3 win over Cincinnati on Aug. 20.

Lynn's loss in that stretch came in another solid performance against the Reds as he allowed one run in eight innings of a 1-0 defeat Sept. 11. The right-hander was sharp again Tuesday while giving up one run in seven innings of the Cardinals' 3-2, 12-inning loss to Milwaukee.

"I thought he was very consistent with what we've seen the last few starts," Matheny said. "It was exactly what we needed. We just needed to give him some more (runs)."

Lynn is 3-1 with a 3.12 ERA in four starts against the Reds this season, and he'll look to help the Cardinals complete a three-game sweep while dealing Cincinnati a season high-tying seventh straight defeat.

The Reds (71-84) have been outscored 30-8 during their skid and had scored twice in their previous four games. Zack Cozart went 2 for 4 with a solo homer while Brandon Phillips also had two hits and an RBI.

"You're seeing us having to go out there and really struggle so mightily to try to find a way to win a ball game," manager Bryan Price said. "Certainly nobody's enjoying this current portion of our schedule. The way we've played for the last 60 games has been miserable."

Cincinnati will counter Lynn with Alfredo Simon, who is wrapping up an overall successful season - the first of his seven-year career as a full-time starter.

Simon (14-10, 3.35) allowed two runs in seven innings of a 4-2 win over the Cardinals on Sept. 10 before pitching seven scoreless innings in the Reds' 1-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Monday.

"This is my first season with the Reds to be a starter and I want to show them I can be a starter for a real long time here," Simon said. "I try to finish strong."

The right-hander's only other career start against St. Louis was Aug. 19, when he gave up three runs in 5 1-3 innings of Cincinnati's 5-4 defeat. He's faced the Cardinals 14 other times in relief.

St. Louis is 7-1 against the Reds at home this season and has won 17 of 23 meetings there.
