Louis Cardinals brawled at Great American Ballpark. Brandon Phillips had claimed before the series, "I hate the Cardinals. From there From this day forward, this rivalry was taken to a whole new level. The Reds have something to prove against the Cardinals this year -- in the Reds' NL Central title campaign in , the Reds went against their rivals including being swept by them in that August series in Cincinnati. It's a brand new beginning for the Reds, as they are now Yet somehow, St.
