ST. LOUIS (AP) — John Gant earned his first victory as a starter since 2018 by throwing six strong innings and the St. Louis Cardinals sent the Reds to their sixth straight loss, 2-0 on a rainy afternoon.
Andrew Knizner, subbing for injured catcher Yadier Molina, and Nolan Arenado each drove in a run.
Dylan Carlson added three singles as St. Louis won a series for just the second time this season.
After waiting out a rain delay of 2 hours, 20 minutes before throwing his first pitch, Gant allowed just three hits. He struck out five and walked two in his fourth start of the season.
