The win streak is over. The Reds took the Cardinals behind the proverbial shed in a 9-6 victory, ending the St. Louis win streak at seven.
The game didn't get off to a good start, when in the top of the 1st and a man on, Hector Pena drove a ball over the short right-center porch off of Jorge Montalvo for a 2-0 Reds lead.
Duarte led off the bottom of the second with a triple into right, and Willie Keith drove him in with a base hit, but the Cards would get no more. After that, it was downhill again for Montalvo, whose lack of control today was a killer. Harvey Thompson then added a 2-run double in the 5th for the final blow. Montalvo just didn't seem to have it today.
Unfortunately, Pablo Gutierrez didn't have it either. Pena hit another homer in the 7th. My whole team has hit two HR all year and I just saw someone hit two out in one game!
Just not my day today. After seven wins in a row, it's to be expected!
