ST. LOUIS — What do you do during 163 minutes of rain delays?
Presumably, the Reds found their bats Saturday night.
Limited to two singles before the second delay, the Reds came out smoking when play resumed on Saturday night, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 8-2 before a crowd of 44,668 at Busch Stadium.
The Reds scored one in the sixth, four in the seventh, two in the eighth and one in the ninth.
The win means the Reds have clinched the series. The Reds had lost the previous six series to the Cardinals.
The only downer on the night: Scott Schebler had to leave the game after running into the wall in right field making a run-saving catch.
