Baseball Betting Lines

09/04/2010 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Travis Wood turned in seven solid innings and hit his first career home run to lead Cincinnati in a 6-1 victory over rival St. Louis in the middle test of a crucial three-game set at Busch Stadium.

Jonny Gomes had a two-run double in the first inning and Brandon Phillips made it a three-run game in the second with an RBI single as the Reds won for the seventh time in nine games to extend their lead in the NL Central to eight games over St. Louis.

Wood (5-2) allowed a single unearned run and five hits while fanning three and walking two for his fifth win in seven starts. It was his first career matchup with the Cardinals, who had won five in a row in the series.

Adam Wainwright (17-10) again failed in his bid to become the National League's first 18-game winner. In fact, the right-hander extended a career- high losing streak to four consecutive starts while St. Louis dropped its ninth game in 11 tries.

Wainwright was charged with seven hits and five runs, only two of those earned, while fanning six and walking one. Matt Holliday had two hits and an RBI for the Cards, who opened the series Friday with a 3-2 win.
