ST. LOUIS -- Jaime Garcia is finally feeling like himself on the mound.Im a guy who goes after guys and I got away from where I needed to be and I had some mechanical issues that I had to get rid of, Garcia said. The last couple of games my defense has been great and hopefully we can do that the rest of the way.Matt Carpenter and Jhonny Peralta homered to back up a second straight dominant start by Garcia as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 on Wednesday night.Garcia (9-8) needed just 85 pitches to get through 8-plus innings and 19 of his 24 outs were ground balls or strikeouts. The lefty has given up two runs in his last 16 innings.When Im pitching my goal is to get quick outs and to get them to hit the ball on the ground and I was able to do that today, Garcia said.Shortstop Greg Garcia had nine putouts. Greg Garcia and Peralta, who played third, made back-to-back stellar defensive plays to get Jaime Garcia out of the eighth.Those ground balls, he had a lot early in the count, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny. Guys thought they saw it and it would just dance out of the zone at the last second.Carpenters homer in the first inning was his second leadoff home run of the season and 11th of his career. It was also Carpenters second career homer against Reds starter Anthony DeScalfani.Peraltas solo homer in fourth was the 200th of his career. Peralta is hitting .345 in August.Peralta didnt know about the career milestone until teammate Matt Holliday told him.It was a surprise for me, Peralta said. I try to think in my mind like whats close to me and everything, but yeah, Holliday surprised me.Seung-Hwan Oh earned his 10th save in 11 tries.He continues to impress us, Matheny said. Everything he does. The way he prepares, the way he competes and just the mix he is on our club. Its nice to have him.DeSclafani (6-1) took his first loss of the season and in his career in five appearances against St. Louis. The three runs he gave up in five innings equaled the three total he gave up in his three previous starts against the Cardinals spanning 19 innings.Eugenio Suarezs solo homer in the fourth for the Reds was his first since July 25.Red manager Bryan Price tipped his cap to Jaime Garcia.Weve seen him really, really good in the past; weve seen him other times where hes a little more vulnerable with his command and up in the zone, but tonight wasnt one of those nights, Price said. There wasnt much there and Anthony certainly wasnt on top of his game and still was able to go out there and be able to compete and keep it close. We just werent able to do much with Garcia.STILL STREAKINGYadier Molinas single in the sixth extended his streak of reaching base safely to 23 games. It is the longest streak by a Cardinals catcher since Gene Tenace reached in 35 straight games between 1981 and 1982.WEB GEMReds second baseman Tony Renda made a diving stop on Hollidays hit up the middle. Renda was able to throw out Holliday at first saving a run.OMINOUS ANNIVERSARYSix years ago, the Cardinals and Reds got into an infamous brawl in Cincinnati sparked by comments made by Brandon Phillips about the St. Louis organization. Cardinals catcher Jason LaRue suffered a concussion during the melee and never played again.TRAINERS ROOMReds: RHP Alfredo Simon (trapezius) and RHP A.J. Morris (straight shoulder) were scheduled to make their second rehab appearance for Triple-A Louisville.Cardinals: 1B Matt Adams (left shoulder soreness) was a lineup scratch several hours before game-time. Peralta replaced him at sixth in the order playing third base and Carpenter moved to first base.UP NEXTReds: Homer Bailey has permitted seven runs in 8 2/3 innings his first two starts of the season.Cardinals: Carlos Martinez gets the call in the opener of a four-game series at Chicago. In two starts against the Cubs this year, both at home, hes 1-1 with a 5.25 ERA. Custom Red Auerbach Jersey Custom Bill Russell Jersey .

Prop Dylan Napa has conceded three-time minor premiers Sydney Roosters took winning for granted as they battle to avoid the clubs worst season in 50 years.The Roosters need to scrape together two more wins over the final month of the NRL season if they are to avoid the ignominy of joining 2009s wooden spoon outfit as the clubs worst since their winless season of 1966.As it stands now the current Roosters, who have only won four games this year, are worse than the 2009 Tricolours who tasted victory five times.It is a long way down for the team that has won the past three minor premierships and the 2013 title.The last three years were all glitz and glamour and now this is the other side of it, Napa said.The other side of it is also understanding that winning doesnt just happen.After claiming 18 regular season wins last year, 16 the year before and 18 in their premiership winning year of 2013,, the Roosters have only enjoyed wins against South Sydney, Newcastle, Wests Tigers and Brisbane this year.ddddddddddddAgainst the Broncos it was funny because it was the first game we have won in a long time and I have never sung the team song so loud, Napa said.I thought back to my first few years when we were winning all the time and sometimes I wouldnt sing the song as loud as I could.I took those wins for granted, so I am never going to not sing the team song as loud as I can ever again.The Roosters face North Queensland, St George Illawarra, Cronulla and Brisbane over the final four rounds.This season has been disappointing. We have lost a bit of respect from other teams. We are doing all we can to get some pride back before the end of the year, Napa said. ' ' '
