CINCINNATI (AP) — Joey Votto had a two-run homer among his four hits, Adam Duvall had three hits off Mike Leake — his counterpart in one of Cincinnati’s rebuilding trades — and the Reds beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 on Thursday to complete a four-game sweep.
The Reds hadn’t swept the Cardinals in four games since 2003 in Cincinnati, during the first season at Great American Ball Park. St. Louis has lost seven in a row overall for the first time since 2013.
Scott Feldman (5-4) limited the Cardinals’ slumping lineup to four singles in seven shutout innings.
