CINCINNATI -- Scott Schebler stood and watched his first career game-ending homer stay inside the foul pole, and then flipped his bat and made the tour of the bases. Quite a return for the outfielder.Scheblers three-run homer in the ninth inning rallied the Cincinnati Reds to a 7-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night in their first game without Jay Bruce. Schebler was called up earlier in the day to take his roster spot, and wound up winning a game.I didnt know if it was going to stay fair, and I stood there longer than I wanted to, Schebler said. Thats as good as it gets right there.Brandon Moss and Tommy Pham hit solo homers in the eighth for a 5-4 lead, but the Cardinals couldnt hold on in a game that had four lead changes in the last three innings.Seung Hwan Oh (2-2) escaped a bases-loaded threat in the eighth, but gave up a pair of singles to start the ninth. Schebler connected for his second homer of the season.That was long, loud and historic, manager Bryan Price said. That was something, especially after having the bases loaded and nobody out against the same pitcher. Oh has been sensational.Jumbo Diaz (1-1) fanned Oh with the bases loaded in the top of the ninth to keep it 5-4.The second-place Cardinals are hoping to make a run in the NL Central now that their lineup is closer to full strength. Moss and Jhonny Peralta returned from injuries on Tuesday, and the Cardinals expect to get leadoff hitter Matt Carpenter back later in the week.Instead, their second-straight walk-off loss dropped them nine games behind the first-place Cubs.Its hard, for sure, but theyre painful just like the other ones are painful, said Adam Wainwright, who lasted five innings. You dont want to get beat 11-0 either.Moss and Peralta had doubles that accounted for a run in the sixth. Moss tied it with a leadoff homer against Blake Wood in the eighth, part of his three-hit game. Pham followed with his first career pinch-hit homer, the fourth by St. Louis.Wainwright and Jedd Gyorko also had solo shots for St. Louis.Cincinnati played its first game since Bruce was dealt to the Mets. The right fielder and Adam Duvall were tied for the team lead with 25 homers at the time of the trade. Duvall moved from left field to Bruces old spot and hit a two-run homer in the seventh off Kevin Siegrist for a 4-3 lead.Cincinnatis Joey Votto had an RBI double among his four hits and extended his hitting streak to a career-best 16 games. Yadier Molina doubled and extended his hitting streak to 16 games as well, the longest by a Cardinal since David Freese hit in 20 in a row in 2013.Wainwright hit his second homer of the season off Dan Straily, but couldnt beat the Reds. Wainwright went 3-0 with a 1.77 ERA in July, but lasted only five innings on Tuesday. Hes only 8-10 career against the Reds in 21 starts.VOTTO APOLOGIZES TO FANVotto wasnt happy with a fan in a Reds jersey who reached for a foul ball in the seventh, preventing him from making the play. Votto glared and tugged on the Reds logo on the fans jersey before heading back to his position. He later signed a baseball for the fan and stopped to pose for photos with him.I made a mistake crossing the stands-field boundary, Votto said. I misplayed it, and I took my frustration out on the fan. I felt bad about it. He apologized, but I was the one who shouldve been apologizing to him for bullying him.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: Even as they get some stalwarts back, the Cardinals lost another.

Josh Reddick Jersey . The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad. http://www.customastrosjersey.com/custom-joe-pepitone-jersey-large-736y.html .

LOUIS -- Rookie Tavon Austin has missed another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St. Cheap Custom Astros Jersey . Fred Couples, captain of the U.S. side, put it all into perspective. "We know whos in charge," he said. ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford had a different look at practice Wednesday.He wore a glove on his right throwing hand that covered only his injured middle finger. He seemed to throw accurately with a decent degree of velocity to teammates during the portion of practice that was open to reporters.The New York Giants , however, will provide a much tougher test for Staffords ability to pass effectively with a banged-up finger outdoors and on the road.Stafford hurt his finger in the first quarter of Sundays win over Chicago, playing through the injury that stemmed getting hit by the Bears Leonard Floyd. He played the rest of the game with a glove covering all his fingers and thumb on his right hand.He plans to experiment with different options, with and without a glove, during practices this week.Im not going to get into specifics, Stafford said. Im going to figure out whats best for me and this team and go forward.After throwing only one interception the previous eight games, Stafford was picked off on consecutive possessions in the fourth quarter against the Bears and had one of those passes returned for a touchdown. Stafford bounced back well enough, completing passes and running for a 7-yard, go-ahead touchdown to help the Lions become the first team in NFL history to come back from fourth-quarter deficits to win eight games in a season.He said his finger is OK and that it feels about the same as it did Sunday.Itll continue to get better, Im sure, Stafford said.Resting his finger, allowing backups Dan Orrlovsky and Jake Rudock to take more snaps and make more throws, is not an option Stafford wants to take advantage of this week, not with the division title and playoff positioning at stake.ddddddddddddI plan to take every rep in practice and in the game, he said.Stafford has started every game for a sixth straight season after injuries stunted his first two years in the league. Detroit drafted him No. 1 overall in 2009 and he missed six games his first season and 13 games his second year with shoulder and knee injuries. Throughout his career, including his rookie year against Cleveland when he was knocked out of a game and came back to throw a game-winning TD with no time left, Stafford has proven he can play through pain.Its not a matter of toughness with him, it never has been, Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. Hes a very, very tough-minded and tough physically individual that battles through a lot of stuff.In Week 15, the stakes will be high for both the NFC North-leading Lions (9-4) and Giants (9-4). The winner can potentially clinch a playoff spot with two games remaining in the regular season.Theyre playing for a lot; were playing for a lot, Stafford said. Its an NFC game. Its going to be a big one. Were excited about the opportunity, obviously. Great to be in this type of a position.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Larry Lage at www.twitter.com/larrylage ' ' '
