The Cincinnati Reds wasted a great pitching performance by Mike Leake tonight, as they dropped game two of the three game series against the Cardinals, 3-1.
The Cardinals only needed homeruns from Carlos Beltran and last seasons World Series MVP, David Freese to knock off the Reds.
Leake gave up a first inning home run to Beltran, and a fourth inning 2-run blast to Freese.
Kyle Lohse continued his hot start by shutting down the Reds for his second win of the season.
The Cardinals begin the season 5-1 and look like a team who does not miss Albert Pujols.
The final game of the three game series takes place Wednesday afternoon at 12:35.
The pitching matchup tomorrow has Reds ace Johnny Cueto against Jaime Garcia of the Cards. The game will be shown on the MLB Network.
