Albies Helps Cardinals Beat Reds
The St. Louis Cardinals topped the Cincinnati Reds by the score of 9-6, with the largest share of the credit going to second baseman Ozzie Albies. Albies was 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Cardinals. The winner was Chris Bassitt, who threw 105 pitches over 5 innings. The right-hander was charged with 6 runs on 10 hits. St. Louis is still hoping to get on a roll. The win is just their 8th in 22 games.

Chris Bassitt's at-bat in the bottom of the fourth inning was a big one for St. Louis. Coming to bat with one out, the bases loaded and St. Louis leading 3-2, the pitcher hit a 2-run single.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Albies told a St. Louis News reporter. "Sometimes we need just to relax."
