After scoring just one run with five hits in their previous 12 innings, the Cardinals pushed across two runs in the fourth inning Saturday night at Busch Stadium to move ahead of the Cincinnati Reds 2-1. But they could have had more.
Brad Miller tied the count at 1-1 with a stout clout of 446 feet to dead center off Cincinnati starter Tejay Antone.
Paul DeJong then walked, Matt Carpenter singled and Austin Dean walked to load the bases with nobody out.
Second baseman Freddy Galvis made a diving stop to take a hit away from Matt Wieters, who was facing reliever Lucas Sims.
