ST. LOUIS -- The Cincinnati Reds bullpen reverted back to its early season form Monday night.The St. Louis Cardinals rallied for five runs with two outs in the bottom of the ninth against relievers Tony Cingrani and Ross Ohlendorf to beat the Reds 5-4.The catalysts really were three walks and two hit by pitches and we allowed them to get excited and their fans to get excited and we werent able to execute the pitches we needed to do to finish the inning, manager Bryan Price said.Yadier Molina started the rally with a hit and ended it by getting hit in by a fastball from Ohlendorf with the bases loaded.I was really disappointed to not be able to come through in a big situation like that, Ohlendorf said. It was a fun situation as a pitcher, a chance to really make a difference for us, so it was disappointing when it doesnt happen.Matt Carpenter drove in two runs with a single, Stephen Piscotty singled home another and Matt Holliday walked to load the bases before Cingrani (2-4) was lifted for Ohlendorf, who walked Brandon Moss to tie it before hitting Molina.The Reds bullpen has rebounded after a horrible start to the season in which it had ERAs of 6.21 and 7.25 in April and May, respectively. In July, the relievers combined for a 2.45 ERA, the third lowest in the National League, and had a 2.25 ERA in August entering the game.Its miserable, Price said. Its a miserable feeling but weve just got to come back tomorrow and win the game and get this feeling out of our system.The rally spoiled what had the makings of Cody Reeds first major league win. Reeds six scoreless innings dropped the Reds starters ERA to 2.84 over the last 11 games.It helps the confidence going into the next one, Reed said. We didnt get the win, whatever, its going to happen. It didnt happen today, its going to happen years from now so no worries. Ill just get out there for the next one and try to win that one.Reed set the tone with a scoreless first inning. He entered the game with a 14.63 ERA in the first inning, including giving up four runs to the Cardinals in the opening frame in his last outing.He made some great pitches especially when he had to, Moss said of Reed. He did a much better job of controlling the strike zone and pitching off of it than he did the first time we faced him.Cardinals starter Michael Wacha struggled to settle in as seven of the first 12 batters he faced reached base. Zack Cozarts double eluded the outstretched glove of Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday and went off the wall to give the Reds a 2-0 lead in the second. Cozart, who had two hits, scored when Joey Votto followed with a triple.Seth Maness (2-2) pitched a perfect ninth to earn the win.GRAND THEFTBilly Hamilton led off the game for the Reds with a single and stole second and third. He is 17 for 19 in stolen base attempts against Molina, a perennial gold glove catcher, and the 17 stolen bases are the most by any base runner against Molina.STILL STREAKINGMolina walked in the fourth inning to extend his streak of reaching base safely to 21 games. It is the longest streak by a Cardinals catcher since Gene Tenace reached in 35 straight between the 1981 and 1982 seasons.TRAINERS ROOMReds: RHP Alfredo Simon (right trapezius) and RHP A.J. Morris (strained right shoulder) began rehab assignments at Triple-A Louisville on Sunday. Simon gave up a run in an inning and Morris gave up three runs in 2/3 of an inning.Cardinals: LHP Tyler Lyons (knee) saw a specialist in Chicago, but no update was available.UP NEXTReds: LHP Brandon Finnegan (7-8, 4.45 ERA) is coming off a two-hit, six-inning shutout of St. Louis in a 7-0 win last week. His current 12-inning scoreless streak is the longest of his career.Cardinals: RHP Mike Leake (8-9, 4.80 ERA) will look for better results against his former team after allowing seven runs his last time out in Cincinnati. In two career starts against the Reds, he is 0-1 with a 10.32 ERA. Cheap MLB Jerseys . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. Cheap Luis Aparicio Jersey .
