Jose Trevino homered for Cincinnati, and Noelvi
Marte drove in the go-ahead run with his first career triple.
Reds star Elly De La Cruz doubled in the first to extend his
hitting streak to a career-high 12 games, and Gavin Lux
collected three hits, including two doubles, to run his hitting
streak to a career-best 12.
St. Louis right-hander Andre Pallante (2-2) allowed three runs
and six hits in six innings.
Lars Nootbaar doubled and scored on Nolan Arenado's two-out
double in the first against Martinez. But the Reds tied it when
Trevino hit a leadoff drive in the third for his second homer.
Lux singled and scored on Marte’s triple in the fourth, and Lux
doubled home Austin Hays in the sixth.
Cincinnati's Matt McLain singled in the seventh to end a
career-worst 0-for-21 slump.
Key moment
The Cardinals had two on and nobody out in the fifth. Trevino
pounced on a Masyn Winn bunt and threw to third for the first
out, and Martinez escaped the jam when he induced a double-play
grounder from Nootbaar.
Key stat
Cincinnati began the day tied for third in the majors with 150
runs scored, and its starting pitchers boasted the fifth-best
ERA at 3.39.
