CINCINNATI (AP) — The Reds ended their 13-game losing streak to St. Louis, beating the Cardinals 6-3.
Center fielder Billy Hamilton made a bunch of key defensive plays, throwing out two runners, then making outstanding catches against the wall in the eighth and ninth innings. He also tripled and scored twice.
The Cardinals’ overall winning streak against Cincinnati was their longest since the 1930-1931 seasons.
The Reds had lost 11 straight home games to St. Louis.
