Tempers flare, outfielders flex and Cardinals salvage series, end losing streak to Reds with 10-6 victory

CINCINNATI — The Cardinals rookie pitcher, 18 starts into his big-league career and aching for his first win, had the run support and the runway for milestone.

What he didn’t have was complete control.

Johan Oviedo ran out of pitches and latitude before he could qualify for a win Sunday and take a long-awaited personal token from the same game the Cardinals ended a more team-oriented drought. Nolan Arenado hit his 20th home run of the season and all three Cardinals outfielders homered, including two in the same seven-run inning. That was enough to overcome an early deficit, frustrations that became two ejections, and hold for a 10-6 victory against Cincinnati at Great American Ball Park.
