Reds vs. Cardinals Game Highlights (6/21/25) | MLB Highlights

summer has arrived in St louis it’s the Cardinals it’s the Reds the Cardinals have won four consecutive games look it’s baseball weather at this point the Cardinals playing some hot baseball fitting to have a hot day with it it is sunny yes Sunny Gray and he’s been rolling here at home he’s had a couple of clunkers this year Brad that’s normal for a major league starter what’s so exciting about Sunny Gray is after one of those blowup starts he’s usually really really good for an extended stretch yeah and that’s what veterans do right and you’ve got your ace out on the mound swag and a miss well that’s optimization wouldn’t you say three pitches three strikes and out number one gavin Lux is the Red’s designated hitter today he too was 0 for four last night and Lux takes high ball four and the Reds have a one out base runner da Cruz one for four but Sunny Gray’s been a tough opponent tri right down Central you called it Brad the sweeper taylor Cruz caught looking two outs on the ground to third nolan’s got that catcher running takes a peek and unloads in time to retire the side two strikeouts and a ground out for Sunny Gray red’s counter with an opener third start of the season for Brent Sudter you can count on Sudter trying to force quick early weak contact not about trying to strike every hitter out he’s trying to get an out as soon as possible brendan Donovan first pitch popped up there you go Cowboy all day long mlelan and De La Cruz converging and De La Cruz adjusts and tumbles makes the play both were calling for it that could have been disastrous that should tell you all you need to know about the athletic ability and the ability to adjust on the fly for Ellie de la Cruz mason win takes ball four outside the walk is the ninth given up in 34 and a third innings by Sudter alec Berles riding an eightgame hit streak 13 knocks in that stretch and a high fly ball whacked toward right freley going back at the wall it’s a two-run homer this is a pitch a forcing fast ball trying to go away missed a foot inside still able to get to it gets the barrel to it and lets it fly that ball kept carrying into the Cardinals bullpen and Berles’s lefty lefty magic continues for the Cardinals who strike for two in the first against Sudter steer three for seven lifetime against Sunny Gray that includes couple of blasts already first pitch grazes Gray trickles to second donovan on the run forces a silly throw and that goes Cardinal Dugout that’s going to give Steer second he had no shot to get him why make that throw and gift him scoring position infield hit throwing air ground out ground out now a payoff and he got him gray pulls the string oh wicked curveball his third strike out and the Reds strand steer at third sunny protects a two nothing lead cincinnati’s got him first and third with nobody out so Fredel singles after Mlan’s base hit now Gavin Lux is up and back up the middle right at the bag step on the pillow throw to first dog out by Contrarus double play scores a run lead cut in half and what a scoop by Wilson at first base ellie David Cruz struck out looking his first time first pitch is bashed to center scott streaking into the gap head long dive misses the ball it goes to the wall dale Cruz helmet off he flies through second he’s racing for third relay to third is laid he slides in it kicks away d Cruz to the plate gray the throw it’s there and he’s tagged he is out place cardinals play fundamental backup defense and it saves him a run how about that two-1 game terry Francona will bring in a starter/ new reliever that would be Nick Martinez in for the 16th game this is his first appearance out of the bullpen this year mason win slaps this ball to routine right easy breezy one two three martinez highly efficient two balls two strikes and strike three call freighy’s rung up he’s struck out twice and has a few words for CB Bucknor backto-back strikeouts for Sunny Gray now Mlan who has singled and scored pretty well hit left center that’s going to get down to the gap mlan turns he’ll challenge for two a later decision to throw head first slide in smoothly kind of fun to watch this guy heat up isn’t it Mlan he’s the tying run in scoring position first and third two down for Ellie de la Cruz i think Sunny is putting everything he has into these pitches right here knowing this may be the end of the string here for him today runner at first on a 3-2 goes the pitch is on the ground dy knocks it down has to fire quickly and did what a play what a play look at Sunny Gray catchers crouch big round of applause for Brendan Donovan a runs saving stab at second cardinals protect a 2-1 lead but Jamo did not have great command last time out he doesn’t have great command today either so he’s walked three consecutive batters here to start the bottom of the fifth inning the only reason the bags aren’t full is because the Reds have picked the runner off second base it’s a short caught by Da Cruz and the double play miracles do happen and the Cardinals get three walks in the inning and they don’t score seventh inning 2-1 Cardinals lead down and in reds have their lead off man on for a third time now Matt Mlan who is two for two single double and a run scored down the left field line that’s a fair ball joe sprinting for third it’s skipped into the stands that’ll hold Mlan to a ground rule double and keep Joe firmly at third base it’s a season high three hits for Matt Mlan but it’s still a 2-1 game second and third world of opportunities here for the Reds cardinals clinging to a one-run lead on the ground contras smothers that races to the bag no advance one out what a play by Contraras right here this is one as soon as he left his feet you were wondering if Joe would go over at third he doesn’t this is the Red’s best chance of the game it was second and third nobody out up the middle win throw to first joe scores rbi for Lux it’s tied at two mlan over to third base so now with a runner at third two out ellie de la Cruz turns around he’ll bat from the right side first pitch da Cruz wool to deep left center scott going back and that’s going to go his team leading 17th homer the Reds ahead on the two out thunder by Day Cruz it’s four to two well that was a big man home run right there that’ll re-energize you on a hot day oh Ellie oh the Spencer Steer to lead it off for the Red Legs here in the eighth inning oh driven to right center that’s a pure Steer swing rolls all the way to the wall steer shoots up to second he’s eyeing three racing for third no throw head first slide and the Reds dug out loving it they are all up on the rail celebrating in the sweltering heat a three bagger for Steer it’s still only a two-run lead she got a lead off triple and a great chance to add on benson high in the air pretty deep left center steer is quick that’ll do it scott makes the catch steer tags throw to the plate is not going to make it steer scores sackfly RBI benson knocks in another it’s 5-2 that’s a really nice job from Will Benson and the Cardinals have them first and third and with two outs they will indeed bring the tying run to the plate this is only the second chance the Cardinals have had to hit with a runner in scoring position runner at first goes and a shot up the middle off the glove of Mlean a run is in it’s five to three tying runs are on and Ferles’s coming up he’s your hottest guy on the hottest day and at the most important time all you can ask for in a tight game against the Reds swing and a base hit to right here comes Donnie around third he’s going to score mason wins stands at third a two strike hit for Berles it is a one-run game just so calm and confident in the box right now as Alec Berles so he said it just a moment ago these Cardinals don’t quit two outs in the inning cardinals have scored twice they have the tying run 90 ft away and the Reds have to go ever deeper into their bullpen in a relief core game emlio Pagan enters the game in unexpected fashion he faces Wilson Contrarus with the tying run 90 ft away swinging a miss he struck him out pagan gets the Reds out of peril they maintain the lead it’s 54 so the Cardinals have three outs to at least get this game tied aronado will start nolan for three swing high fly ball deep left joe going back at the wall and it’s gone it’s got a tie game hard comes back to tie the game in the ninth inning chip these Cardinals do not quit career number 351 for Nolan Aronado ties it up here in the ninth wow so Hamson at third base let’s see what Ron Hley can do about getting out of this game high pop fly that’s playable who wants it berles’s calling for it he’s got it and Helley holds serve in the top of the 10th the Cardinals have a chance to walk it off it’s there for the taking for the Cardinals 55 in the 10th so now it’s Win Berles and Contraras you got three shots at this base is loaded mason win he’s walked he’s singled he scored and knocked in one bounce to third espenov boom recover throw force he’s out base is still loaded but a precious first out so the hottest hitter for the Cardinals is the man in the spotlight first pitch ground ball steer has it fired to the plate for a force out two down can they get out of this two Cardinals forced out of the plate now Donovan the winning run off third here’s Contrarus struck him out red’s magic they get out of the inning unbelievable unbelievable second and third two outs mlan has driven in 26 runs he scored two today he’s a tough out a swing and a miss he strikes out this time three strikeouts in the inning for Mton leaving runners at second and third cardinals have 18 comeback wins they’d love number 19 today now Po came on a catch they had run for Pahz earlier his first plate appearance little flare to right that’s down for a hit here comes Walker psy is up the line cardinals win it again joel Poso the hero his first career walk-off in a game where the Cardinals had an early lead couldn’t get anything going for a while they battled back and Po the hero this was a long long game but man oh man Brad was it worth the
