Mark Reynolds registered a grand slam and a go-ahead double to help fuel the Cardinals' eight-game win streak.
ST. LOUIS -- More than a month into the season, the St. Louis Cardinals finally lost a series.
Given their list of injuries, it's a remarkable start.
The Cardinals finally got a break Monday after playing 20 consecutive games, going 14-6 during a challenging stretch for the players and the team's training staff. They own the best record in the majors at 22-9 despite losing ace Adam Wainwright for the season with a torn Achilles tendon, shutting down key reliever Jordan Walden due to biceps and shoulder woes and giving third baseman Matt Carpenter a break due to extreme fatigue and dehydration.
