ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jhonny Peralta’s 10th-inning single, his third hit of the game, drove in the winning run to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 6-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.

Jay Bruce homered, doubled and knocked in four runs for the Reds, which gives him nine RBIs in four games. Brandon Phillips returned from left thumb surgery wearing a brace and went 0-for-4 with a walk. Logan Ondrusek (3-3) entered with one out in the 10th and gave up consecutive singles to Matt Holliday, Matt Adams and Peralta. Ondrusek (strained right shoulder) was activated from the disabled list earlier in the day.

Peralta’s RBI single in the first was just his second in 32 at-bats against the Reds this season. He also doubled and scored the tying run on A.J. Pierzynski’s hit off Jumbo Diaz in the eighth.

Bruce doubled off Trevor Rosenthal to tie it in the ninth. Rosenthal was pulled after he walked the bases full with one out on Sunday, and he has allowed four runs in 2 1/3 innings in his past three outings. Seth Maness retired Zack Cozart on a foul pop with the bases loaded to end the top of the eighth.

Bruce’s three-run homer, his 14th shot of the season, capped a four-run fifth against Justin Masterson for a 4-3 lead. Bruce also set a franchise record with his 890th game in right field, which broke the mark set by Ival Goodman from 1935 to 1942.

Pinch-hitter Daniel Descalso’s RBI double off Mike Leake tied it in the seventh.
