LOUIS (Ticker) - Rick Ankiel looks to continue his hothitting and lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a three-game sweepof the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Ankiel, who hit his first career grand slam on Friday, drove inthree more runs and Yadier Molina homered as the Cardinalsposted an 11-3 victory on Saturday. The Cardinals (66-66), who have won eight of their last 12games, are one-half game behind the Milwaukee Brewers (68-67)and two games behind the first-place Chicago Cubs (69-65) in theNational League Central. Ankiel has been a key reason for St. Louis' success, hitting.481 (13-for-27) with nine RBI in his last six games.
