ST. LOUIS — Cincinnati hit six home runs including Nick Martini's three-run shot in the first inning in a 19-2 rout of the St. Louis Cardinals that kept the Reds alive in the National League wild-card race. Jonathan India, Spencer Steer, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Noelvi Marte and Tyler Stephenson also homered for Cincinnati. Brandon Williamson (5-5) allowed two runs on five hits in six innings for his first win since Aug. 7. Carson Spiers pitched the final three innings for his first career save. With the win and Chicago's loss, Cincinnati is tied with the Cubs 1 1/2 games behind Miami for the last NL wild card.
