Right-hander Derek Law (1-0), making his Cincinnati debut after
being promoted from Triple-A Louisville earlier in the day,
earned the win with two scoreless relief innings, allowing one
hit and striking out one.
It was Law's first major league win since throwing a scoreless
inning of relief for Toronto at Baltimore in an 8-5 victory on
Sept. 17, 2019.
The top three batters in the Cincinnati lineup combined for six
hits and three runs.
Cincinnati starter Justin Dunn appeared in line for his second
win in three starts and his second straight quality start before
being surprisingly pulled after allowing just three hits and one
run over four strong innings.
The only run allowed by Dunn was a solo homer by No. 9 hitter
Tommy Edman, his 11th of the season that traveled an estimated
423 feet, two-thirds of the way up the sun deck in right field,
giving St. Louis a 1-0 lead in the third inning.
But the Reds immediately responded in the bottom of the third
off St. Louis starter and loser Dakota Hudson (7-7), tagging the
right-hander for four runs, including a two-run shot from No. 9
hitter Romine, his second since coming over from the Cardinals.
Jonathan India followed with a single to center, extending his
hitting streak to a career-high 13 games. The 13-game streak is
also the longest this season by a Reds player. Jake Fraley
followed with an RBI double, and Kyle Farmer singled to right to
close out a string of five straight hits in the four-run
outburst.
The Reds added another run in the fifth off Hudson when they
loaded the bases with no outs and scored on a double-play
groundout by Donovan Solano.
The Reds defeated St. Louis for just the fifth time in 13 tries
this season while the red-hot Cardinals lost for just seventh
time in 28 games in August.
