The St. Louis Cardinals showcased an impressive offensive display, hitting three consecutive home runs in the ninth inning against the Cincinnati Reds, securing a 6-0 shutout victory. Victor Scott II, Lars Nootbaar, and Masyn Winn each contributed significantly to the team's run total. The outing marked a rare road victory for the Cardinals, who have struggled away from home this season, with this being just their third win on the road.

Winn's performance was particularly notable as he hit two home runs, establishing himself as a key player in this matchup. The Cardinals have been known for their potent offense, demonstrated by their past exploits, including a historic seven-homer game earlier this season. Reds manager Terry Francona highlighted the importance of maintaining a tight scoreline, indicating that the game's final moments slipped away due to missed opportunities.
