ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Andre Pallante matched his season high with eight strikeouts
in seven strong innings, and the St. Louis Cardinals scored six runs in the
bottom of the sixth in a 7-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night.
Pallante (11-6) allowed two hits and a walk, and Gordon Graceffo pitched two
innings in relief for St. Louis, which snapped a two-game skid. The Cardinals
had lost six of their previous seven games.
Six straight Cardinals reached base with one out in the sixth inning before
Nathan Church laid down a safety squeeze bunt that scored Bryan Torres and gave
the Cardinals a 7-0 lead.
Ivn Herrera hit a two-run double to left field to snap an 0-for-12 skid,
Torres lined an RBI single to left field, and Blaze Jordan dribbled a two-run
single to right field to end Hunter Greene's (2-2) night.
Greene allowed seven runs, six earned, on eight hits and two walks over 5 1/3
innings in his fourth start of the season since being activated from the
injured list on July 4.
JJ Wetherholt reached base on Elly De La Cruz's fielding error to lead off the
bottom of the first and scored on a single by Burleson to give St. Louis a 1-0
lead.
Cincinnati had won three games in a row and five of seven since the All-Star
break.
