The Reds gave Chris Carpenter something to really whine about, putting four runs up against the Cardinal ace.
Former Cardinal Miguel Cairo hit for Big Logan Ondrusek and walked. Drew Stubbs was awarded a single on a ball that secondbaseman Nick Greene imitated the Ernie Lombardi statue outside Great American Ball Park to put runners on first and second. Paul Janish laid down a two-strike sacrifice bunt. Pinch manager, Joe Pettini, order MVP Joey Votto walked intentionally, bringing the man whose picture is up in every post office in St. Louis, Brandon Phillips. Phillips launched a fly deep to right over the head of Lance Berkman that landed 15 feet short of the warning track, scoring two runs. Carpenter was sent to the showers. Jay Bruce greeted Trever Miller with a line drive two-run double.
The Reds take an 8-2 lead into the eighth inning.
