Donovan drove in three runs as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the
visiting Cincinnati Reds 7-3 Friday.
Donovan went 2-for-3 with a sacrifice fly and a two-run single as
the Cardinals won for just the sixth time in 16 games. Dylan Carlson
hit a RBI double, drew three walks and scored twice.
Cardinals starting pitcher Andre Pallante (3-4) allowed three runs
on six hits in five innings. He struck out five batters and walked
three.
Ryan Helsley worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth inning to
earn his eighth save.
Starting pitcher Hunter Greene (3-11) allowed four runs on five hits
in five innings for the Reds, who took just their second loss in
eight games. He struck out six batters and walked three.
Cincinnati's Jonathan India led off the game with a single. Brandon
Drury hit a double, and Kyle Farmer's two-out, two-run single put
the Reds up 2-0.
In the bottom of the inning, Tommy Edman hit a single and Carlson
and Paul Goldschmidt walked. Nolan Arenado and Donovan hit sacrifice
flies to tie the game 2-2.
The Cardinals moved ahead 3-2 in second inning on two-out doubles by
Edman and Carlson.

The Reds tied the game 3-3 in the third inning when
Tommy Pham walked with two outs, moved up on a wild pitch and scored
on Joey Votto's single.
They could have scored more after Farmer walked and Donovan Solano
hit a single, but Votto stopped at third base and Farmer ran into an
out there.
Nolan Gorman's solo homer put St. Louis ahead 4-3 in the fourth
inning.
The Cardinals upped their lead to 5-3 in the sixth inning and could
have scored more. Donovan, leading off, was thrown out at second
base after hitting a ball off the right field wall. Tyler O'Neill
and Gorman then walked, and Corey Dickerson hit an RBI single.
Carlson and Goldschmidt drew walks to start the seventh inning. They
advanced on a balk and scored on Donovan's single to make it 7-3.
