Encarnacion Leads Reds Over Cards

Posted Apr 28, 08 11:29 PM CDT in Sports    Most Covered

(Newser) – Edwin Encarnacion had a pair of RBI doubles and made a standout play at third base in the seventh inning to preserve a one-run lead in the Cincinnati Reds' 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. Bronson Arroyo (1-3) worked six solid innings for the Reds, who won their first series opener after losing the first nine.

Adam Dunn and Brandon Phillips had an RBI apiece to help Cincinnati win three in a row for the first time this season and even its record at 3-3 since Walt Jocketty became general manager. Rick Ankiel hit his fifth home run for the Cardinals, for whom Jocketty served as GM the previous 13 seasons before getting fired last October.
