The Reds fell to the St. Louis Cardinals 10-9 to drop three out of five in the series in downtown Cincinnati in a wild one heard Thursday afternoon on WRBI. Cincinnati trailed 4-0 until erupting for five runs in the 6th inning, highlighted by Matt McLain’s grand slam, which put the Reds up 5-4. But in the top of the 9th, Dane Myers dropped what would have been the final out of the game, and the error plated two runs. The Cardinals sent 11 hitters to the dish and scored six runs in the frame. The Reds in turn, scored four times in the bottom of the inning, but the rally fell short. The Redlegs end the homestand at 3 and 5, and embark on a three-city, nine-game road trip with the first three tonight in Arizona against the Diamondbacks. Nick Lodolo (3-2, 4.52 ERA) starts for Cincinnati. Arizona counters with righthander Eduardo Rodriguez (12-4, 2.71 ERA). We’ll join the game in progress following high school football.
