• Masyn Winn drove in three runs, including an RBI in the 10th that added insurance after the decisive error.
• Iván Herrera and Pedro Pagés each homered for St. Louis as the Cardinals built and then rebuilt their lead.

• Matt Svanson earned the win and Ryan Fernandez recorded his first save, while Reds starter Zach Littell yielded four early runs before retiring 14 straight; next up is Andrew Abbott vs. Michael McGreevy.
