Brendan Donovan scored from first on Nolan
Arenado's single when Elly De La Cruz booted the ball in short
left field for his major-league leading seventh error, making
the score 2-1.
Neither team's starter returned following the rain delay.
Liberatore (2-3) allowed two runs and two hits in three innings
for the Cardinals. Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott gave up a run
on four hits over four innings.
Steer hit a solo homer, his third of the season, off Riley
O'Brien to make the score 5-1 in the sixth.
Santiago Espinal's two-run single in the seventh pushed the
Reds' lead to 8-1. He went 2-for-4 with two RBIs.
Reds reliever Graham Ashcraft (2-2) retired nine straight with
four Ks to earn the victory and extend his scoreless streak to
five innings.
Key moment
Matt Svanson replaced Liberatore in the fourth following the
rain delay and allowed two singles and a walk to the first three
batters to load the bases. The Reds scored twice in the inning
to grab a three-run lead.
Key stat
Trevino hit eight homers in 73 games last season for the
Yankees. He has homered three times in 25 games so far this
season.
