The Cincinnati Reds have the St. Louis Cardinals on ropes.
Super star Albert Pujols is not in the lineup tonight against the Chicago Cubs. Pujols injured his left elbow in Pittsburgh three weeks ago and aggravated it again a couple days later. After the Cardinals lost to Chicago last night, Pujols needed a cortisone shot in his arm.
The National League leader with 39 home runs and 104 RBI has missed just one other game this season.
Felipe Lopez will play firstbase tonight for St. Louis and Colby Rasmus will take Pujols third spot in the batting order.
St. Louis trails the Reds by seven games and any combination of Reds wins and Cardinal losses that add up to 13 will clinch the Central Division for Cincinnati.
