First baseman's RBI double gives Cardinals their first lead of the series, one that Ryan Helsley secures with a perfect ninth and his 44th save of the season.
Lance Lynn strikes his way out of trouble and completes 2,000th inning of his career in Cardinals' 2-1 victory vs. Reds. With $12-million option looming, how does Lynn claim it?
