CINCINNATI (AP) — Hunter Greene allowed one run through seven innings, Jeimer Candelario hit a two-run homer and the Cincinnati Reds beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 to secure a win of the series between the NL Central rivals. The hard-throwing Greene (9-4) allowed four hits while striking out eight and walking one in notching his third straight win. Spencer Steer had a two-out, RBI single in the first inning. Ty France led off the second with a homer off the roof of the Cardinals bullpen in right, his 11th of the season. Candelario smashed his 19th homer with two outs in the sixth.
