 ST. LOUIS (AP) - Jason Marquis hit a bases-loaded triple and pitched into the seventh inning, leading the St. Louis Cardinals over the Cincinnati Reds 5-1 Tuesday night.
Jim Edmonds and Reggie Sanders hit back-to-back homers in the sixth inning for the Cardinals, who rebounded after a day off from a pair of blowout losses to the Phillies in which they gave up 23 runs. Edmonds' second homer of the season was the 1,500th hit of his career.
Aside from the second inning when the Reds scored on Austin Kearns' RBI single and left the bases loaded, Marquis (1-0) was in control on the mound. He retired the side in order in the first, third, fourth and fifth and struck out six with two walks before tiring in the seventh.
