St. Louis Cardinals vs. Cincinnati Reds Watch FREE: MLB Online Streaming from Great American Ballpark at 7:15 PM ET

The Reds (22-24), losers of nine of their last 10 series versus the Cardinals, are scheduled to send Tony Cingrani (2-3, 3.76 ERA) to the mound.

He's looking to show some improvement after serving up a career-high three homers and four runs with seven strikeouts in six innings of Sunday's 8-3 loss at Philadelphia. It was the left-hander's first start since left shoulder tendinitis landed him on the disabled list May 1.

Cingrani is 2-0 with a 2.60 ERA in three home starts against the Cardinals. He was superb in the most recent April 2, striking out a season-high nine while yielding two hits in seven innings before Chris Helsey's walkoff single clinched a 1-0 win.

St. Louis is trying to get untracked after falling for just the second time in nine games.

Allen Craig is batting .353 with 11 RBIs in 13 games, and he's 7 for 12 while driving in four runs over the past three. He had a pair of singles in the series opener, including a two-run hit in the fourth.

Jaime Garcia (0-0, 5.14) is scheduled to get the ball for the second time since returning from surgery to repair a torn labrum and rotator cuff.

The left-hander made his first start in a year Sunday, allowing four runs and two homers in seven innings while not getting a decision in a 6-5 loss to Atlanta.

"I made some good pitches, I made some mistakes," Garcia said. "I had some butterflies going on in the first inning, but nothing different."

Nerves haven't been much of an issue against the Reds, as Garcia has beaten them more than any other team. He's 9-2 with a 2.95 ERA over 13 career starts.

Garcia allowed one run and seven hits in eight innings of a 2-1 victory in the most recent matchup April 30, 2013.
