ST. LOUIS (AP) \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
After Eugenio Su\u00e1rez was intentionally walked to load the bases with two outs, Nathaniel Lowe extended the lead with a two-run single to left.<\/p>\n
Elly De La Cruz and Ke\u2019Bryan 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.<\/p>\n
The team said Steer would have imaging done and see a hand specialist on Monday.<\/p>\n
Iv\u00e1n 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Cardinals starter Kyle Leahy recorded a career-high nine strikeouts in six innings, allowing one walk and six hits\u2014 including the solo homers by De La Cruz and Hayes.<\/p>\n
Andrew Abbott of the Reds also lasted six innings, giving up two runs on three hits. He had four walks and four strikeouts.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The Cardinals have not announced a starter for their Monday night series opener against the Cubs and LHP David Peterson (5-7, 5.97). ___<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ST.
