The Cincinnati Reds scored two runs in each of the third and fourth innings and then held off the St. Louis Cardinals for a 4-3 victory.  A great win for the Reds as the beat the Cardinals and picked up their twelfth win of the season.

Bronson Arroyo picked up his first win of the season as he pitched six innings and gave up three runs on six hits.  Arroyo did strikeout six batters and walked three.  Francisco Cordero picked up his fourth save of the season in the game.

Edwin Encarnacion went 2-4 in the game including two RBI.  Brandon Phillips and Adam Dunn both had on RBI as well.  The Reds had more chances to score runs, but they left 18 men on base.  They need to knock those runs in if they want to really make a run in the division.
