Reds starter Michael Lorenzen labored through five innings, throwing 50 pitches over his final two frames. The Cardinals scored all three of their runs during that span, with RBI singles from reserve catcher Tony Cruz and second baseman Kolten Wong.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Striking with two out: The Cardinals scored each of their three runs off Lorenzen with two out. Cruz, making the spot start behind the plate, drove home the first run in the fourth with a single to left. Wong then tallied his 20th and 21st two-out RBIs -- tops on the team -- with a fifth-inning single to center.
