The Reds have scored just nine runs in five games since the All-Star break. The last two nights St. Louis Cardinals rookie pitchers have allowed a total of two hits in 13 2/3 innings.
Daniel Poncedeleon pitched seven hitless innings until a high pitch count caused his removal from the game. "We weren't in a situation where Daniel could complete a no-hitter," Cardinals interim manager Mike Schildt said. Austin Gomber carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning on Tuesday before Joey Votto singled to break it up. Eugenio Suarez followed with his 21st home run to tie the game that went 11 innings.

"Schebler is going to go to Buffalo to DH. I don't know if it will be a day or a couple of days," Riggleman said. "He is ok swinging the bat but throwing is where he's having problems. He will probably be on a throwing program. Winker is a little tender (sore right shoulder). He is going to hit in the cage today. We may be able to use him to pinch hit."The Cardinals have used the 100 MPH fastball of reliever Jordan Hicks three days in a row and closer Bud Norris.
"I don't think you'll see Jordan Hicks or Bud Norris today," Schildt said. "We will have to try something else to get 27 outs."
The Cardinals only got 26 outs on Monday. Eugenio Suarez' 20th home run off Norris with two outs in the ninth tied the game. The elusive 27th out never came. Winker and Tucker Barnhart singled. Adam Duvall walked and Dilson Herrera singled to give the Reds the win.
Tuesday night, Suarez' home run tied the game and the Cardinals needed 33 outs to get the 4-2 win.
