Earle Powers Reds Offense
The Cincinnati Reds topped the St. Louis Cardinals by the score of 9-4, with the biggest share of the credit going to first baseman Billy Earle. Earle went 3 for 4 with a triple, a double, and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Reds on the day. Mike Smith, the winning pitcher, improved to 13-8. He pitched 9 innings, giving up 10 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 1 and walking 3. The Reds' win now puts them at 51-39.

A decisive at-bat came in the bottom of the seventh inning. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, the batter, Jack Boyle, reached on an error by the 2B, driving in 1 run. It made the score 5-4, Cincinnati, and helped them go on to win.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Earle said after the game.
