Cards Pound Reds in 7-2 Win

Posted Apr 29, 08 11:02 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Joel Pineiro pitched seven innings of one-hit ball and the St. Louis Cardinals jumped on rookie Johnny Cueto early in a 7-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night. Troy Glaus and Rick Ankiel combined for four hits and five RBIs their first two at-bats for the Cardinals, who scored three runs in the first and four in the second.

Skip Schumaker tied his career best with four hits and Albert Pujols was 0-for-4 to end a nine-game hitting streak, but walked off Josh Fogg in the eighth and has reached base safely in all 28 games. Cueto (1-3) allowed seven runs, six earned, on eight hits in only 1 2-3 innings in his sixth career start.
