| 9/08/23 | Big swings early and a rookie's nervy relief lift Cardinals to bold win against Reds.

Finishing with Ryan Helsley and peaking with the relief performance by rookie Matthew Liberatore, the Cardinals' bullpen shouldered the final 16 outs of Friday's game at Great American Ball Park. The relievers pitched the entire time with a lead, had it teetering on them only once, and then secured the 9-4 victory. In addition to complicating Cincinnati's push for a playoff spot, the Cardinals have a chance to win back-to-back series for the first time since mid-July and first back-to-back road series since mid-June.
