Cardinals, Cantu Pin Bad Loss on Reds
The St. Louis Cardinals extended their winning streak.

The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds, 13-2, at Busch Stadium. The win was due in part to second baseman Jorge Cantu, who went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. The Cardinals, now 19-8, have been on fire in the early going.

The Cardinals got an important contribution from third baseman Pedro Alvarez, who in the bottom of the first punched a 1-0 curveball into left-center for a bases-clearing double. It was his 7th double of the season and put the Cardinals ahead, 5-0.

Cincinnati manager Cal Ripken Jr. called the blowout loss "a real dud."
