The St. Louis Cardinals got a sterling performance from pitcher Lucas Giolito, but the Reds still prevailed, 4-2. Giolito was named the player of the game in a losing cause. He threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball. Ken Giles converted his 31st save in 33 tries. The 4th-place Cardinals have dropped 6 straight games.

The Reds got a big at-bat from first baseman Edwin Encarnacion. For the game, Encarnacion went 1 for 3 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the top of the first, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 34th home run of the season gave Cincinnati a 2-0 lead.

"We'll pop the top on a cold one and get back to work tomorrow," Encarnacion said.
