The Reds pulled to within a game and a half of St. Louis in the NL Central with a 9-7 extra innings win over Philadelphia on Sunday.
The Cards were swept by the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates in a weekend series, losing the Sunday game 7-0.
The Reds and Cards open a three-game series in St. Louis on Tuesday night.
Slugger Albert Pujols remains confident.
“We’re not going to give up,” Pujols told the Post-Dispatch. “We’re playing the game the right way. We’re playing it hard.
“We’re not going to go out there and embarrass ourselves. If we’re losing and we’re embarrassing ourselves, then I can say there’s a problem here.”
