Game 1 between the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds belonged to the away team. It was quite surprising to see the Reds manage a win away from home. This has given the four-game series a much-needed boost, as it has now become interesting. The Cardinals will surely look to bounce back in Game 2.
Following the loss, St. Louis is now 84-60 in the National League Central division. They are still way ahead of the other teams. Behind them are the Milwaukee Brewers. So the Cardinals have nothing to be concerned about.
However, losing at home is not something a team of such caliber likes. They lost Game 1 at home and would not want to repeat it again. The Cardinals will come out even stronger in the second game.
