MLB: Cincinnati 7, St. Louis 2

CINCINNATI, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Adam Dunn hit two home runs, including a grand slam, Tuesday as the Cincinnati Reds beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-2.

Reds starter Matt Belisle (8-8) allowed two runs on six hits with five strikeouts and two walks in seven innings.

David Eckstein and Ryan Ludwick each homered for the Cardinals, who have lost five straight.

Mark Mulder (0-2), in his just his second start of the season, gave up seven runs on seven hits in four innings.

After Eckstein's home run to start the game, Dunn's homer in the second tied the score and Cincinnati blew the game open with six runs in the third -- mainly on Dunn's grand slam.

It was Dunn's sixth-career grand slam and put him over 100 RBI for the third time in his career.
