Cardinals 5, Reds 4 (36-21)
The Cardinals finally figured out the Reds and a late inning comeback fell short as the Reds four game winning streak came to end. Like yesterday’s game, the Cardinals jumped out to a 5-0 lead. And like yesterday, the Reds slowly crept back into things, even coming to within a run of tying the game after scoring two runs in the eighth. Unfortunately the Reds went down quietly in the ninth as the comeback fell just short.
Doug Flynn went three for four with a run scored and Tony Perez and Pete Rose both hit solo shots. Jack Billingham didn’t last through the third inning and he gave up five runs (two earned on six hits and two walks). He dropped to 5-4 on the season.
