ST. LOUIS (AP) – Andre Pallante allowed two hits in six shutout innings and the St. Louis Cardinals used a five-run eighth inning to beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-1 on Friday night.<\/p>\n
Pallante (5-3) allowed a walk and a second-inning single to Matt McLain before leaving with a 1-0 lead after a broken-bat single by Elly De La Cruz to begin the seventh. Phil Maton got three outs to end it.<\/p>\n
St. Louis scored five runs off relievers Scott Barlow, Taylor Rogers and Tony Santillan \u2014 who retired one batter each. Masyn Winn drove in the first run with a single off Rogers and Lars Nootbaar’s single off Santillan capped the rally after a two-out throwing error by Gavin Lux led to two runs.<\/p>\n
Brendan Donovan reached on a fielder’s choice, took third on a Winn double and scored on a sacrifice fly by Alec Burleson to give St. Louis a 1-0 lead in the third against Reds starter Brady Singer (7-5).<\/p>\n
Singer allowed one run on four hits and a walk in six innings, striking out seven and retiring his final nine batters.<\/p>\n
Santiago Espinal singled leading off the eighth against John King and scored on a throwing error by Jordan Walker on Jose Trevino’s double to right field for the Reds’ run.<\/p>\n
Thomas Saggese, was called up from Triple-A Memphis before the game, hit the grounder that Lux threw away. He replaced catcher Iv\u00e1n Herrera, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.<\/p>\n
Cincinnati is 59-101 since 2006 at Busch Stadium.<\/p>\n
Key moment<\/p>\n
In the seventh, Maton got Tyler Stephenson to hit into a double play on his first pitch before striking out Spencer Steer swinging.<\/p>\n

Pallante entered with a 5-2 record and 2.18 ERA in six starts and 16 appearances against Cincinnati \u2014 tied with Harry Brecheen for the fourth-lowest ERA by a Cardinals pitcher against the Reds.<\/p>\n
