Burleson put them ahead for good in the first inning with a
double down the right-field line that scored Joshua Báez and
Iván Herrera. Báez, who became the first player to hit three
home runs in his first three at-bats in the major leagues on
Saturday, was hitless for the second consecutive day since his
record-setting debut.
Left-hander Quinn Mathews, making his second career start,
allowed one run in four innings — a homer in the fourth by Dane
Myers, who had two of the Reds' three hits. Matthews gave way to
a stout bullpen that allowed just one hit over the final five
frames. He allowed two hits and three walks and struck out
seven.
Luis Gastelum (3-2), Gordon Graceffo and George Soriano pitched
three-up, three-down innings. Ryne Stanek followed with a
scoreless eighth and All-Star closer Riley O’Brien struck out
the side in the ninth for his NL-leading 31st save.
Kent Emanuel (0-1) gave up two runs on five hits in five
innings. Cincinnati selected the contract of the 34-year-old
left-hander from Triple-A Louisville to make the start.
Up next
Cardinals RHP Andre Pallante (12-6, 3.46 ERA) will start the
nightcap, with RHP Rhett Lowder (4-8, 5.15 ERA) going for the
Reds.
