Kyle Farmer homered and scored the go-ahead run on a Tyler Stephenson sacrifice fly as the Cincinnati Reds rallied to beat the visiting St. Louis Cardinals, 6-5, on Friday night.
The Cardinals grabbed a 5-3 lead, thanks to a three-run sixth, before the Reds came back with two in the seventh and an unearned run in the eighth to make a winner of Brad Brach (1-1), who pitched the eighth.
Heath Hembree closed the game out by pitching a scoreless ninth for his seventh save.
Farmer and Joey Votto had three hits for the Reds, who won for just the second time in seven tries in their nine-game homestand coming out of the All-Star break. The Cardinals fell for just the third time in eight games.
