Cincinnati is 6-14 in Bailey’s last 20 starts vs. St. Louis and 1-8 in Bailey’s last 9 road starts in St. Louis.
Matt Carpenter (St. Louis) - Matt Carpenter doubled twice and drove in one run Thursday as the Cardinals beat the Brewers. He is an impressive 15-of-25 against Cincinnati starter Homer Bailey.
Matt Holliday (St. Louis) – Another solid hitter against Bailey, he’s gone 13-of-42 with two home runs. Holliday went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run single to help the Cardinals dispatch the Brewers on Wednesday.
Yadier Molina (St. Louis) - Yadier Molina went 3-for-4 with an RBI single in Wednesday's win against the Brewers. He’s 11-of-33 against Bailey with three homers.
Zach Cozart (Cincinnati) - Reds SS Zack Cozart is 10-for-22 during a six-game hitting streak. He is 2-for-8 with three strikeouts versus Martinez.
