Arenado belted at least 30 home runs and drove in 100 runs for seven straight full seasons from 2015-22. The Reds send lefty Andrew Abbott (3-4, 2.68 ERA) to the mound on Tuesday. Abbott is coming off his best outing of the season, blanking San Diego over seven innings on May 21. He allowed just four hits and a walk. Abbott has gone seven innings in each of his past two starts, allowing just eight hits and one run over the 14 innings. Abbott is 1-1 with a 5.59 ERA in two starts against St. Louis. Kyle Gibson (3-2, 3.81), who will make his 11th start this season. Gibson allowed three unearned runs on five hits over four innings on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles, as the Cardinals rallied for a 5-4 win. Gibson is 1-0 with a 7.59 ERA in two career starts against the Reds. Take ST. LOUIS!
