It was only the Reds’ second win in eight meetings with the Cardinals this season. St. Louis is now 6-2 in eight meetings with Cincy heading into Wednesday’s series finale. The 36-year-old improved to 5-1 in that stretch after permitting two runs on six hits in seven frames of a 4-3 triumph over Kansas City on Thursday.

Reds Raisel Iglesias was guarding a 1-0 lead by his team. I don’t care how good he swings the bat.
St. Louis Cardinals’ Mark Reynolds, left, slides safely into second… Bourgeois struck out. Phillips walked on a full count.
“From my perspective, it was a “no-doubt” strike”, said Garica.
That brought up Votto, hitting.
Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto is the hottest hitter in the majors out of the All-Star break.
“He knows how to pitch and get out of jams when he needs to do so”, Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton said.
“That was a mistake”, said Garcia.
Joey Votto hit a three-run home run in support of Mike Leake, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-0 on Tuesday night. His night ended at 80 pitches yielding 2 walks and fanning 5 total. “I have to do a better job, too”. He has won five of his last six decisions overall. “He was fighting himself a little bit, but he was battling”.
“There’s just a few people in the league at that position with that skill set that he has”, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “That was impressive to watch through five”.
“Each one from here on could be (the last start)”, Leake said. That’s what we keep talking about.
The Reds, who have dropped seven of their last 10 to slip a season-worst 11 games below.500, already have traded ace Johnny Cueto and are expected to make more moves ahead of the deadline, with Leake among those on the block. Our offense has been the best in the game.
His injured hamstring was put to the test, as well. He also ran hard in trying to beat out a third-inning groundout. I speeded up a little. “Maybe I have to take it easy, but it’s just the competitiveness in me that comes out”.
Kolten Wong singled with one out in the sixth for the Cardinals’ second hit. Even though, the Cardinals history against Leake has been a. 286 BA with Matt Holliday at.
Daniel Descalso, who started at shortstop in this game, made a leaping grab of a line drive by Kris Bryant to end the seventh inning and strand two runners. Working fast and hitting the corners, Leake didn’t permit a hit until rookie right fielder Stephen Piscotty laced a single to right field with two outs in the fifth.
