Cincinnati Reds' Bats Fall Silent in 7-1 Loss to St. Louis Cardinals

The Cincinnati Reds (24-31) limped through a loss on Tuesday night, as they fell to the St. Louis Cardinals (26-27) 7-1.

The Reds managed just four hits, while the Cardinals had 13, including a pair of two-run home runs from Nolan Arenago and Nolan Gorman.

The Reds got their lone run from a solo homer by Will Benson. Otherwise the Reds lineup provided next to no pressure on Cardinals pitchers.

In games where the run differential is five or more runs, The Reds are now 7-7 on the season in games with a 5+ run differential.
