Reds Edge Cardinals

Adam Duvall broke out of a slump and hit three doubles and a single Sunday, helping the Reds to a 5-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
 
Duvall began the day in a 4-for-35 skid. He spent several hours working in the indoor batting cage after Saturday's game was postponed by rain - and discovered a flaw.
 
Joey Votto hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning for the Reds, who had lost eight of their previous nine games.
 
Wandy Peralta (1-0) picked up the win by tossing a scoreless seventh inning. Closer Raisel Iglesias threw two innings to record his fourth save in as many chances. It was his second two-inning save of the season.
 
Duvall, Eugenio Suarez and Scott Schebler drove in runs in the three-run seventh to tie the game.
 
Devin Mesoraco singled sandwiched around walks to Tucker Barnhart and Billy Hamilton to load the bases against Rosenthal in the eighth. Votto followed with a two-strike single up the middle.
 
St. Louis starter Mike Leake gave up one run on eight hits over seven innings. He is 0-3 against his former team in six career starts.
 
Michael Wacha (2-1, 2.55) will take on Milwaukee RHP Zach Davies (2-2, 6.57) in the first of a four-game set on Monday in St. Louis. Wacha is 4-0 in his career against the Brewers.
