ST. LOUIS (AP) — Nick Senzel and Aristides Aquino hit solo home runs and the Reds beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 to snap a six-game losing streak.
The loss cut the Cardinals’ lead in the National League Central to 7 1/2 games over the idle Milwaukee Brewers.
St. Louis loaded the bases with one out in the ninth on two singles and walk before pulling within a run on a sacrifice fly by Albert Pujols.
Alexis Diaz then got pinch-hitter Cory Dickerson to ground out to end the game and earn his seventh save.
Miles Mikolas (11-12) give up three runs in six innings.
Cincinnati starter Chase Anderson (1-3) gave up one hit in five innings.
