Paul Goldschmidt’s double off Buck Farmer in the bottom of the eighth lifted the St. Louis Cardinals over the Reds 2-1 last night at Busch Stadium. Goldschmidt’s hit drove in former Red Michael Siani to break a 1-1 tie. Santiago Espinal’s two-out single in the fourth plated Spencer Steer with the Reds only run. Ryan Hensley pitched a perfect ninth to earn his Major League-leading 44th save. The loss snaps Cincinnati’s three-game winning streak. The rubber match of the series is this afternoon. Jakob Junis starts for Cincinnati. He’ll be opposed by former Red Sonny Gray. Coverage begins at 12:45 on 103.9 WRBI.
