Cardinals rally past Reds in ninth inning for 10-9 victory

In a dramatic game on August 20 at Great American Ball Park, the St. Louis Cardinals overcame a 5-4 deficit in the ninth inning to defeat the Cincinnati Reds 10-9. The Cardinals scored six runs in the final frame, aided by a critical misplay by Reds outfielder Dane Myers, who failed to catch a fly ball in challenging sunlight. After the Reds had previously taken the lead with a Matt McLain grand slam, they answered with four runs in their half of the ninth. However, a well-placed line drive from McLain with the bases loaded was snagged by Jordan Walker to end the game. The loss dropped the Reds to 61-68 on the season as they prepare for a demanding road trip through August 30.
