Looper, Cardinals look to end season on high note
Sep 26, 2008 - 10:29 AM Cincinnati (74-85) at St. Louis (83-76), 8:15 p.m. EDTST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- After ending the playoff hopes for the Arizona Diamondbacks, the St. Louis Cardinals will host the Cincinnati Reds on Friday.
St. Louis won the last three games of a four-game series against Arizona, which was eliminated from the National League West race with Thursday's 12-3 setback.
Braden Looper (12-14, 4.13 ERA) will try and continue the Cardinals' momentum as he goes for a personal-best 13th victory.
The righthander has been unsuccessful in his previous five attempts at the elusive win, dropping four straight decisions. Looper allowed four runs over six innings in a loss to the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.
Cincinnati will counter with Bronson Arroyo (15-11, 4.66).
The righthander gave up six runs - five earned - over six frames in a loss to Milwaukee on Sunday.
St. Louis has won seven of the 12 meetings between the division rivals.
