ST. LOUIS -- The Reds' offense came alive against the Cardinals on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, a bullpen that had been rock solid of late couldn't make it stand.
Yadier Molina's solo homer off of Jared Hughes (0-2) in the bottom of the seventh broke a tie and lifted the Cardinals to a 4-3 win. The Reds lost for the sixth straight time to the Cardinals and 10th straight dating back to last season. Cincinnati has lost 12 out of its last 13.
Molina's homer, which gave him 800 career RBIs, snapped a 19-inning shutout streak by Reds relievers.
