Winn drives in 3 runs, Cardinals take advantage of De La Cruz's error in
10th for 7-5 win over Reds
[August 30, 2025]
CINCINNATI (AP) — Masyn Winn drove in three runs, Iván Herrera and Pedro
Pagés each homered and the St. Louis Cardinals took advantage of Elly De
La Cruz's throwing error in the 10th inning to beat the Cincinnati Reds
7-5 on Friday night.
With the game tied at 5, Willson Contreras hit a grounder off Tony
Santillan (1-5) to De La Cruz and the shortstop bounced his throw to
Spencer Steer, who couldn't handle it at first base and allowed Nathan
Church to score the go-ahead run. It was De La Cruz’s 22nd error, the
most in baseball. |

Winn drove in Contreras two batters later to
make it 7-5.
Matt Svanson (3-0) got the win. Ryan Fernandez got three outs,
including De La Cruz on a strikeout to end the game, for his
first save of the season.
De La Cruz doubled, tripled and scored twice for the Reds, who
lost their fourth in a row. Ke’Bryan Hayes' solo homer in the
eighth tied it at 5 for Cincinnati. Steer and Noelvi Marte
homered earlier.
Reds starter Zach Littell allowed four runs in the first three
innings, then retired 14 consecutive batters.
Key moment
Steer couldn't hold onto the bouncing throw from De La Cruz in
the 10th, allowing a run to score on a what would have been the
end of the inning.
Key stat
Hayes' tying home run in the eighth was just his fifth of the
season. In 26 games since being traded to the Reds, he has three
homers. He had two in 100 games with Pittsburgh this season.
Up next
The Reds will send LHP Andrew Abbott (8-4, 2.62 ERA) against
Cardinals RHP Michael McGreevy (5-2, 4.43 ERA) on Saturday
night.
