Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 loss to the Reds on Sunday at Busch Stadium.

Andrew Abbott set the Cardinals down in order with relative ease all afternoon, but Miles Mikolas threw a solid game in his own right. The lineup simply did not back him up on a hot day in downtown St. Louis.

The Cardinals optioned Andre Granillo to Memphis for Gordon Graceffo ahead of the game Sunday.

We explain the reason behind that roster move and debate whether another move could be coming Monday to prepare the bullpen for the rigors of a four-game series with the Cubs.

Plus, in down on the farm. Tekoah Roby was masterful Sunday in Memphis. The Springfield starter also is making a name for himself after an eye-popping strikeout total Sunday.
