Pallante (1-1) allowed three hits and struck
out four while walking three, running his shutout string as a
starter to 17 innings. The right-hander threw eight scoreless in
his last MLB start on July 31, 2022, at Washington, and three
straight scoreless in a four-inning start before being pulled at
Toronto on July 26, 2022.
Ryan Helsley allowed one run in the ninth but managed to force
Elly De La Cruz to ground into a game-ending forceout to record
his National League-leading 18th save in 19 chances.
Masyn Winn had three hits and extended his hitting streak to 18
games. His RBI single off Cincinnati starter and loser Frankie
Montas (2-4) in the fourth extended the Cardinals lead to 3-0.
Only Joe McEwing has a longer hit streak as a rookie in
Cardinals history, batting safely in 25 straight games in 1999.
Despite allowing three runs on six hits over six innings, and
earning his third quality start of the season, Montas posted his
eighth straight start without a win.
Gorman unloaded his 10th homer of the season for the Cardinals,
who captured their fifth straight series and won for the 12th
time in 15 games.
Reds center fielder TJ Friedl made his second return this season
from the injured list, going 0-for-3 with two walks in his first
game since May 12 when he suffered a fractured left thumb after
being hit by a pitch.
For the second straight game, a Cardinals pitcher carried a
no-hitter into the fourth inning as Pallante walked Friedl to
open the game and Jeimer Candelario with one out before retiring
the next nine batters.
Jake Fraley singled to center with two outs in the fourth for
Cincinnati's first hit.
On Tuesday, Kyle Gibson didn't allow a hit until Will Benson
opened the sixth with a solo home run.
The Reds broke through against reliever Kyle Leahy in the
seventh when Nick Martini blooped a double in front of a sliding
Michael Siani in center. Jonathan India followed with a one-out
single to score Martini.
With the Reds threatening, John King entered the game and struck
out pinch-hitter Stuart Fairchild and induced a Tyler Stephenson
groundout.
