Reds Roll to 9-1 Win Over Cardinals
The 2018 season is getting ugly for St. Louis.

Cincinnati first baseman Edwin Encarnacion played a vital role in his team's 9-1 triumph over St. Louis. He was 1-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 for Cincinnati. The Cardinals, now 7-14, continue their poor start.

The Reds got a big at-bat from catcher Yasmani Grandal. For the game, Grandal went 1 for 5 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. In the top of the first, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 4th home run of the season gave Cincinnati a 3-0 lead.

"If we keep hitting the ball well, the wins will pile up," said Cincinnati skipper Brad S.
