The Cardinals upped their winning streak to 7 by pounding out 19 hits in a 13-6 win over the Reds today at Robison Field. Seven starters had at least two hits and five had at least two RBI.

John Burt got it going with an RBI single after Thomas singled and Downing doubled. Duarte added a sac fly, and Keith drove home Burt with a single. 3-0 Cards after 1.....but the Reds would get them all back on a Turner Hunter double into the left field corner off Steve O'Herlihy.

The Cards re-loaded the bases again for John Burt in the 2nd and he delivered an RBI single, which would have been two, but Preston Thomas got gunned down at the plate. No matter, Orlando Ortiz drove in Downing and Thomas. All in all, six runs crossed the plate in the inning.

After that though, it was a pretty uneventful game.

Off day tomorrow, then two more against the Reds.
