The Cincinnati Reds clobbered the St. Louis Cardinals, 13-2, at Great American Ball Park. Leading the onslaught was Elly De La Cruz. He hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 4 for Cincinnati. The Cardinals drop to 5-8, as their stumbling start to the 2028 season continues.

Hector Rodriguez, who won the Rookie of the Year Award in 2027, came through for Cincinnati with a 3-run home run in the bottom of the seventh. The center fielder went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 1 run and collected 3 RBI.

"We didn't put up much resistance," said losing manager Micah Owings.
