Munoz homers, drives in two as Cardinals' win, 3-1, take series vs. Reds

CINCINNATI — For the Cardinals bullpen to have a lead at all to hold for the second half of Sunday's game, it took four stolen bases in one inning and a romp of a game by infielder Yairo Munoz.

The Cardinals' utility infielder finished a double shy of the cycle as he homered and drove in two runs for a 3-1 victory against Cincinnati at Great American Ball Park. Munoz had three hits and was involved in all three of the Cardinals' run.

The bullpen allowed one run -- it came on a pinch-hit homer -- in 4 2/3 innings of work -- to carry the Cardinals to a series win.
