| |  | 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 JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Cincinnati (71-82) at St. Louis (85-68), 8:15 p.m. EDT
John Lackey hasn't performed at the level the St. Louis Cardinals thought he would after acquiring him at the trade deadline.
He'll have a chance to begin redeeming himself Friday night against the visiting Reds after an early exit from his outing in Cincinnati nine days earlier.
St. Louis (85-68) maintained its 2 1/2-game edge over Pittsburgh in the NL Central with a 3-2 victory over Milwaukee in 13 innings Thursday. Tony Cruz, who was one of 14 Cardinals to record an at-bat, delivered the winning single.
They've won five of six while the Pirates are a major league-best 11-2 since Sept. 5.
"You don't want to scoreboard-watch but it goes on, especially this time of the year," said Cruz, who delivered just his 14th RBI this season. "We know what's at stake."
The Cardinals are hitting just .226 over their last seven games, but their starting pitching has carried them to five wins in that span. Shelby Miller yielded one earned run over six innings Thursday, marking the seventh straight game in which a St. Louis starter surrendered one earned run or fewer over at least five innings. No Cardinals rotation has accomplished that feat in eight straight contests since at least 1914.
Lackey (2-2, 5.05 ERA) wasn't pitching anywhere near that well last Wednesday as he was tossed after walking the first batter of the third inning in St. Louis' 4-2 loss at Cincinnati. Plate umpire Tom Hallion said Lackey was arguing balls and strikes before he was ejected.
"I didn't say any cuss words toward him," said Lackey, who was charged with two runs. "He saw my mouth moving and threw me out. It was unexpected, for sure."
Lackey, who was 11-7 with a 3.60 ERA for the Red Sox, owns a 5.49 ERA in seven starts since winning his debut with the Cardinals on Aug. 3 and has allowed a home run in five straight outings for the first time since doing so in eight straight from July 5-Aug. 16, 2008.
Though Cincinnati (71-82) took three of four from St. Louis last week, Lackey figures to be facing a confidence-starved lineup this time around. The Reds have totaled three runs during a four-game losing streak. They've also dropped 15 of 17 on the road and are 7-27 away from home since June 30.
"It's been a tough road trip to this point," manager Bryan Price said. "... We've just really struggled to score runs."
RBI leader Todd Frazier is 2 for his last 15 with runners in scoring position, though he's 2 for 3 overall with a home run against Lackey.
David Holmberg (1-1, 6.00) recorded his first career victory in a 5-1 win at Milwaukee on Saturday after allowing two hits in six innings with the lone run coming on Aramis Ramirez's homer. He's looking to pitch himself into a possible spot in next year's rotation.
"I just believe this September is hugely important for David simply to have the opportunity to pitch and get more comfortable as we head into 2015," Price said.
Holmberg threw 5 2-3 scoreless innings of relief in the Reds' 5-0 loss to St. Louis on Sept. 8.
Matt Adams has hit .396 over his last 14 meetings with Cincinnati.
