A WIN SUNDAY would put Reds 2 games under .500 and 5 games out of First Place on August 11th, with the over a month and a half and 7 weeks of baseball left to play. Reds however are running out of games with 1st place Cubs. That makes Sunday a crucial.
Lester on mound for Cubs. He is not having a great season, but he has his moments. If he is on, he is still tough.
Castillo on the mound for Reds. I always remember the greats like Bob Gibson, Ferguson Jenkins. If you didn't score in the first inning or two, they just settled in and got tougher as game went on. The key is Castillo doing the same, settling in and looking like the top All-Star Game pitcher he is.
The Reds Garrett, Lorenzen and Iglesias are well rested for this crucial game.
As they said in a John Wayne sports movie several time, with a chance to get back in run for first place, SUNDAYS GAME IS A CRUCIAL.
