Reds Even Out Series With Cardinals.

By HD.

The Cincinnati Reds were looking to even the series with the Cardinals. They did, winning 5-3. Here's what happened.....

Cincinnati's Miguel Cairo has played for nine clubs in his 15-year career so the veteran knows what to look for when he's down in the count.

Cairo hit a two-out, two-run, go-ahead single in the eighth inning to lift the Reds to a 5-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday.

Former Cardinals closer Ryan Franklin gave up a single to left field by Cairo, who fell behind 0-2 in the count.

"I was just trying to stay back and see what was coming," said Cairo, who turns 37 on May 5. "He left it out over the plate and I was just lucky enough to get a hit."

Cincinnati gave Cairo a two-year deal but Reds manager Dusty Baker acknowledged some doubts about the veteran during spring training.

"He looked old in spring training. I mean, there's a difference between being old and looking old," Baker said. "We made a decision really thanks to Scott Rolen. He suggested he'd be a big help to us. When you're on the fence, it helps to have somebody who knows somebody. You trust their word."

The slumping Reds had lost seven of nine before snapping St. Louis' three-game winning streak.
