Lohse and Encarnacion help Reds avoid sweep <h3>CINCINNATI 5, ST LOUIS 1</h3>ST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- Kyle Lohse dominated the St. LouisCardinals while Edwin Encarnacion continued to hit everythingthrown his way. Lohse threw eight solid innings and Encarnacion went 4-for-4with three RBI to help the Reds snap a four-game losing streakwith a 5-1 win over the Cardinals on Thursday.

"It's a matter of executing and doing what you're trying to doout there and not make any mistakes," Lohse said. "(I was)getting ahead in the count and using the defense. "I was making good pitches early in the game and kind of putsome off-speed stuff in their mind. Then I was able to pitchoff the fastball more later in the game. Guys were making playswhich makes it easy to throw strikes. Make them swing early inthe count and our guys are on their toes. That's how it works." The righthander's attempt for his second complete game of theseason was thwarted when he yielded a one-out double to AlbertPujols and an RBI single to Jim Edmonds in the ninth. "They're tough," Lohse said. "Pujols just did a good job ofhitting and Edmonds did what he should have done. He had a goodat-bat." David Weathers recorded the last two outs to completethe win. Encarnacion, who is hitting .592 (16-for-27) in his last sixgames, hit a two-run homer in the fourth off Cards starter AdamWainwright (4-5) for a 3-0 lead and had RBI single in theeighth.

Theballs to Dunn and Griffey Jr. are outs on a lot of guys. Thosetwo guys are pretty strong. Guys that you can't let beat youbeat us today."
