ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Sal Stewart drove in the go-ahead run with a pinch-hit
single in the 10th inning, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the St. Louis Cardinals
5-3 on Sunday.
The victory capped a 6-3 road trip for Cincinnati coming out of the All-Star
break. Since the break, the Reds, in last place in the NL Central, have won two
of three against Colorado, Seattle and St. Louis.
Stewart's line drive to right field against Matt Svanson (2-3) scored automatic
runner Tyler Stephenson and pushed Cincinnati to its third straight road series
win for the first time since 2023.
After Eugenio Surez was intentionally walked to load the bases with two outs,
Nathaniel Lowe extended the lead with a two-run single to left.
Elly De La Cruz and Ke'Bryan Hayes hit solo home runs for Cincinnati. Reds
second baseman Spencer Steer left the game with right wrist pain after fouling
a pitch off the end of his bat in the fifth inning.
The team said Steer would have imaging done and see a hand specialist on Monday.
Ivn Herrera hit a solo homer, and Alec Burleson had three hits, a run scored
and an RBI as St. Louis lost for the seventh time in 10 games.
Brock Burke (4-4) got Lars Nootbaar to foul out with the bases loaded in the
eighth, then pitched a spotless ninth for the Reds. Rookie Julian Garcia earned
his first career save after allowing the automatic runner to score on
Burleson's 10th inning RBI single.
Cardinals starter Kyle Leahy recorded a career-high nine strikeouts in six
innings, allowing one walk and six hits--- including the solo homers by De La
Cruz and Hayes.
Andrew Abbott of the Reds also lasted six innings, giving up two runs on three
hits. He had four walks and four strikeouts.
Up next Reds RHP Chase Burns (12-1, 2.42 ERA) is set to start against Cleveland RHP Slade Cecconi (4-7, 4.60) in Cincinnati on Monday night. The Cardinals have not announced a starter for their Monday night series opener against the Cubs and LHP David Peterson (5-7, 5.97). -__ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB |
