ST. LOUIS (AP) - After a miserable stretch, Kyle Lohse is dominating hitters. Lohse came within two outs of his second shutout in three starts and the Cincinnati Reds got home runs from Ken Griffey Jr., Edwin Encarnacion and Adam Dunn in a 5-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night.
"It's in there," manager Jerry Narron said of Lohse. "Stuff-wise, he's as good as anybody. We really feel like the worst is behind him."
Encarnacion had four hits and three RBIs for the Reds, who ended a four-game losing streak and avoided a three-game sweep. The Reds completed a 4-5 trip with 2004 first-round pick Homer Bailey set to make his major league debut on Friday in Cincinnati.
