Another lefty stifles the Reds offense in a 3-1 loss to St. Louis

Kyle Farmer was the only Cincinnati Reds player to pick up a hit – and he had two of them – as Jon Lester dominated the Reds in a 3-1 win for the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. The Cardinals moved a game closer to the Reds in the standings with the victory and are now 2.5 games behind Cincinnati.

The Offense

The Reds got on the board in the bottom of the second inning with a Kyle Farmer leadoff home run – his 12th of the season.
