The St. Louis Cardinals lost in Houston this afternoon and were swept in the three game series. They scored exactly two runs in three games.
It is a good thing that Tony La Russa saved his aces for the Reds over the weekend. They shaved their heads to change their luck. They have dealt themselves a tough hand. They are at the present time 7 1/2 games behind the Reds. If the Reds complete the sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers tonight, they will take an eight game lead into St. Louis Friday night.
Any combination of Reds wins and Cardinal losses that equal 24 give the Central Division to the Reds.
If the Reds split the remaining 30 games at 15-15. The Cardinals must go 23-8 the rest of the season just to tie.
