ST. LOUIS –– With the tying run at the plate in the top of the eighth inning, Cincinnati Reds left fielder Jesse Winker hit a fly ball to deep center field. One batter later, right fielder Nick Castellanos hit a line drive down the third base line.
Both hard-hit balls were caught by the St. Louis Cardinals defense.
Despite another standout start from Reds left-hander Wade Miley, Cincinnati only had three hits and the Reds lost 2-0 in St. Louis on Saturday for their sixth consecutive defeat.
When the Reds made hard contact on Saturday, the Cardinals often made a standout play.
