Garcia beats Reds again as Cardinals end skid

Baseball Betting Lines

09/03/2010 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jaime Garcia kept an unbeaten streak against Cincinnati intact with 6 2/3 effective innings and Jon Jay set the tone with a first-inning triple and run scored, as St. Louis slowed the Reds' roll with a 3-2 win at Busch Stadium to open a crucial three-game series.

Garcia (13-6) won his fourth start in as many tries versus the Reds this season by limiting surging Cincinnati to six hits and two runs while striking out six.

Ryan Franklin picked up his 23rd save with a spotless ninth to give the Cardinals their fifth straight win against the Reds. Skip Schumaker collected two hits and an RBI in the much-needed win that snapped St. Louis' season-high five-game skid.

The last time these two teams met the Cardinals earned a three-game sweep that gave them sole possession of first place in the National League Central.

Since then Cincinnati had won 14 of 18 while the Cards went 5-13. Friday's result cut the Reds' lead in the division to seven games.

Bronson Arroyo (14-9) suffered the loss for giving up three runs and six hits in six innings. Paul Janish provided a solo home run in the loss that stunted the Reds' four-game win streak.
