Reds Struggle Continues with 8th Loss in 9 Games
The Cincinnati Reds are in desperate need of a boost on offense after suffering their eighth loss in the last nine games. On Saturday night, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the struggling Reds 4-2, thanks to home runs from Willson Contreras and Pedro Pagés.
The Reds (68-68) have now lost five consecutive games and eight of their last nine, putting them five games behind the New York Mets for the final National League wild card spot. The Cardinals (68-69) on the other hand, have won their third straight game.
Michael McGreevy (6-2) was the star of the game for the Cardinals, pitching six strong innings and allowing only one run and five hits. He also had two walks and no strikeouts. Kyle Leahy came in for the save, his second of the season and first in the majors. He gave up back-to-back singles in the ninth inning, but managed to retire the next three batters.
