The first-place Cincinnati Reds took on the St. Louis Cardinals in front of a spirited crowd.

Behind a fine performance from Steve Carbone, the Cincinnati Reds knocked off the St. Louis Cardinals, 12-7. Carbone hit 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice for the Reds. Juan Melendez snagged the win in relief. In 1.1 innings, the right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits. He's now 1-0 on the season.

Cincinnati took a 12-7 lead on Carbone's 35th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which he hit off Edarian Anderson in the bottom of the seventh, propelled Cincinnati to the win.

Carbone called the triumph "a good team win."

The National League Central Division-leading Reds are 85-39.
