It wasn’t the way the Cincinnati Reds imagined their offense coming to life, but at this point in the season, they’ll take whatever they can.
The Reds won their first series in more than a month with a 10-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium, taking two of the three games in the weekend series. The Reds were winless in their previous nine series.
At a time when the Reds need to run the table to qualify for the postseason, the offense was gifted with a few runs. Beggars can’t be choosers. Two runs scored in the third inning after a fly ball was lost in the sun.
