The St. Louis Cardinals edged the Cincinnati Reds 6‑5, thanks to Lars Nootbaar’s two‑run homer in the eighth and a solo blast from Jordan Walker.
The game took place Saturday night at Busch Stadium. Nootbaar’s fifth at‑bat tied the game in the fifth inning and his eighth‑inning homer gave the Cardinals the lead.
Walker’s solo shot in the third added an early run. The Reds attempted a rally in the ninth but defensive miscues prevented them from tying the game.
The win moves the Cardinals up in the National League Central race.
