The Cincinnati Reds’ last game took much longer than expected. The wait was well worth it for the surging ballclub. The Reds look to extend their longest winning streak of the year to six and record their first series win at Busch Stadium in four seasons on Saturday against the NL Central-leading St. Louis Cardinals. After two-out RBI singles by Jay Bruce and Jonny Gomes in the sixth inning gave Cincinnati a one-run lead, heavy storms stopped Friday’s series opener for 2 hours, 32 minutes. A diving stop and putout by former St. Louis third baseman Scott Rolen on the game’s final play capped the Reds’ fifth straight victory, 3-2. It also snapped the Cardinals’ season-high five-game winning streak and dropped them into a tie with San Diego for the NL’s best record. With a chance at their first 6-0 stretch since Sept. 20-26 and first series win at Busch since a three-game sweep from June 5-7, 2006, the Reds will give the ball to Homer Bailey. The right-hander did not receive a decision in his last outing, Sunday’s 5-4 victory over San Diego.

Bailey was 0-3 with a 9.82 ERA in four career starts against the Cardinals before throwing seven innings of one-run ball in a 7-2 victory over St. Louis on Sept. 29.Trying to avoid their first series loss at home this year, the Cardinals counter with Kyle Lohse. Although the veteran right-hander has by far the worst ERA among St. Louis’ starters, and opponents are hitting .306 against him, Lohse was satisfied with his effort in Monday’s 4-3 victory over Atlanta.He not get a decision, but he retired the last seven batters he faced after giving up three runs and seven hits. He is 2-3 with a 4.96 ERA in six starts against Cincinnati.Bruce, who is 2 for 9 with a homer lifetime versus Lohse, is batting .526 with a home run and four RBIs during the Reds’ winning streak after getting three hits and two RBIs Friday.
