The Cardinals just keep finding ways to win. The Redbirds rallied for five runs in the eighth, and beat Cincinnati 7-5 on Friday. Reggie Sanders brought in two with a single of major league saves leader Danny Graves. Marlon Anderson followed with a pinch hit home run to put the Cards on top. Jason LaRue homered for the Reds. He nearly hit a second bomb in the ninth, but Jim Edmonds made an incredible leaping grab at the wall. The Cards have won 10 of their last 11 games, and have opened up an eight-game lead on the Cubs in the National League Central.
