The performance of Hector Rodriguez proved critical in helping Cincinnati beat St. Louis, 12-1. The Reds center fielder was 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. Walker Buehler, who finished 2nd in the NL in innings pitched with 207.2 in 2021, was the winning pitcher. Over 7.1 innings, he allowed 1 run on 5 hits, with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts. The third-place Reds hiked their record to 49-50.

Matt McLain chipped in a grand slam home run for Cincinnati in the bottom of the third. For the game, the designated hitter had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 5 RBI.

"You can't sugarcoat this one," said St. Louis manager Micah Owings. "They smoked us."
