The Reds return home on Monday to take on another division rival in the St. Louis Cardinals. Former Red Sonny Gray is scheduled to start for the Cardinals against Andrew Abbott for Cincinnati. Abbott has an 8.10 ERA in his last 3 starts. Fatigue may be beginning to set in with Abbott again. Last season at this time, Abbott really began to fall off after an impressive beginning to his Major League career. I would like to see how Abbott bounces back in against this Redbird lineup.
