Summary
Six ninth-inning runs turned a 5-4 deficit into a 10-9 Cardinals win after Cincinnati’s Dane Myers dropped a two-out fly ball that let Masyn Winn and Jose Fermin score.
St. Louis piled on through Alec Burleson’s RBI single, a bases-loaded walk and Fermin’s two-run single, but Cincinnati answered with four ninth-inning runs before Matt McLain lined out to end it.
Matt McLain’s second career grand slam had capped a five-run sixth that erased St. Louis’ 4-0 start, which was built on Jordan Walker’s three-run homer and four RBIs.
The Cardinals took the five-game series 3-2 and moved within 2 1/2 games of the final wild-card spot, while the Reds fell seven games back.
