Pineiro heading for 10th loss
CINCINNATI _ Joel Pineiro, who already had the major league lead in losses at nine, seemed headed for a 10th defeat tonight as the Cincinnati Reds pushed across two runs in the sixth inning to stretch a 1-0 lead built in the first to 3-0 against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Jerry Hairston’s third sraight hit drove in Brandon Phillips in the sixth after Phillips had doubled home Willy Taveras.
While Pineiro was pitching respectably, as he has done most of the season, the Cardinals were doing nothing with righthander Homer Bailey, who allowed a single to Skip Schumaker to open the game and then no hits afterward through six innings.



This is UNWATCHABLE. I am a lifelong Cards fan out in AZ spending $ to buy the MLB package to see my beloved cards, but this is pathetic. WHY IS RASMUS NOT PLAYING TONIGHT??? Always been a TLR supporter, but fading fast with his “baby gloves” handling of CR. The kid is good and is going to ONLY get better with playing time. Duncan and Rasmus need to be sent down or out.
