 CINCINNATI (AP) - Two years after arm problems pushed his career to the brink, Troy Percival is back to winning games in the big leagues.
Juan Encarnacion's tiebreaking single in the eighth inning helped the St. Louis Cardinals rally for a 4-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night, giving Percival a triumphant return to the major leagues.
The 37-year-old Percival was in position for his first victory since April 22, 2005, after he pitched a perfect seventh inning. He watched from the bench as the Cardinals pulled it out with three runs in the eighth.
