Cardinals drop finale with Reds after blowing four-run lead

The Cardinals and Reds played a tightly contested, back-and-forth affair Sunday afternoon, but ultimately the Cardinals ended up on the short end of the stick.

After blowing a 4-0 lead, the Cardinals could not rally in the ninth to earn their second walk-off in three games and fell to the Reds 5-4. Second baseman Kolten Wong started off the ninth with a lead-off single, and eventually reached third base, but the Cardinals could not bring him around to score.

The loss dropped the Cardinals back to .500 at 12-12.

The game started off well for the Cardinals, as they quickly got on the board with a run in the first inning.
