Lohse, Ross lead Reds past Cards

<h3>CINCINNATI 5, ST. LOUIS 1</h3>CINCINNATI (Ticker) -- Kyle Lohse and David Ross reversed theirfortunes to help the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday.

Lohse pitched seven strong innings and Ross snapped out of aslump with a go-ahead homer as the Reds posted a 5-1 victoryover the St. Louis Cardinals.

Lohse, who entered with losses in his previous three starts andwas winless since beating Adam Wainwright and the Cardinals onJune 7, yielded just a run and five hits with three walks andeight strikeouts.
