St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Andre Pallante matches his season high with eight strikeouts over seven innings to lead the team to a 7-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Pallante allows only two hits and one walk while holding Cincinnati without a run. The Cardinals break through offensively late, scoring six runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to turn the game into a rout. Relief pitching continues the shutout, with Gordon Graceffo working two innings in support of the win. The victory also ends a recent stretch of poor results for St. Louis; the team had lost six of its previous seven games and snapped a two-game skid with the shutout. With the win, Pallante improves to 11-6 and the Cardinals keep Cincinnati scoreless as they secure the decisive margin.
