St. Louis Cardinals at Cincinnati Reds

De La Cruz's 1st career walk-off hit in 10th gives Reds 6-5 win over Cardinals to split doubleheader

Down to their final out in the ninth, the Reds went to the bench for Myers, who had homered in the opener. Myers delivered again, driving his fifth home run of the season into the left-center seats to tie the game at 5.

De La Cruz won the game an inning later, grounding a single into left field that was deflected off third baseman Blaze Jordan’s glove, allowing automatic runner Tyler Stephenson to score.

Emilio Pagán (5-1) pitched a hitless 10th inning while starter Rhett Lowder matched a career high with 6 2/3 innings pitched. He allowed four runs on eight hits while striking out five, helping the Reds snap a three-game skid.

St. Louis, which won the opener 2-1, led 4-1 before Cincinnati rallied in the sixth.

Michael Toglia doubled home JJ Bleday for his first RBI with the Reds before rookie Héctor Rodríguez singled to center to score Eugenio Suárez and Toglia, tying the game at 4. The hit gave Rodríguez, Cincinnati’s No. 4 prospect, his first two major league RBI.

Cincinnati opened the scoring in the first on Suárez's sacrifice fly.

Iván Herrera tied the game with his 14th homer in the fourth, and Masyn Winn’s RBI single gave St. Louis a 2-1 lead. Nathan Church and Jordan added RBI singles in the sixth to extend the Cardinals’ advantage to 4-1.

Justin Bruihl (0-1) gave up the winning run.
