Reds Edge Cardinals on Late Hitter | St. Louis Cardinals News

The Reds pulled off a nail-biting 5-4 win over the Cardinals, thanks to a rookie heroics duo: Elly De La Cruz’s RBI single and Sal Stewart’s game-sealing three-run homer in the sixth. The Cardinals nearly tied it in the ninth, with Jordan Walker’s two-run blast and José Fermín at third — but the Reds’ closer locked it down. A disastrous eighth inning for St. Louis, featuring two bunts and a throwing error, handed Cincinnati crucial runs. Starter Matthew Liberatore kept it close through five innings, but his costly fastball in the sixth doomed him. Ultimately, timely hitting and bullpen grit gave the Reds the edge in a thriller.
