• When: 7:05p.m. today and Saturday; 1:15p.m. Sunday.
• Where: Cinergy Field.
• Radio: WLW-AM (700).
• TV: Fox Sports Ohio, today and Saturday.
• Records: Cincinnati 19-27, fifth place Central Division; St.Louis 26-19, first place Central Division.

Today, RHP Chris Reitsma (2-4, 4.37 ERA) vs. RHP Andy Benes (3-3, 6.60)

• The bats: Mark McGwire's on the disabled list, but you can feast your eyes on Rookie of the Year candidate Albert Pujols, who's hitting a robust .364 with 14 homers and 46 RBI. J.D. Drew (17 homers) has blossomed, and Jim Edmonds (.328) remains one of the game's most dangerous players.
