Reds' Arroyo sets career high for wins

[September 17, 2008]  CINCINNATI (AP) -- Bronson Arroyo set a single-season career high for wins and Edwin Encarnacion hit a three-run double to lift the Cincinnati Reds to a 7-2 win over the reeling St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.

Arroyo (15-10), who had allowed just two homers in his previous eight starts, gave up two in seven innings, but he still lasted long enough to improve to 5-0 in his last six starts and help send the Cardinals to their season-high sixth consecutive loss.

Arroyo, who won 14 games in 2005 with Boston and 2006 with Cincinnati, allowed five hits with no walks and four strikeouts.
