Morneau was a one-man wrecking crew. He belted a three-run homer in the 1st inning, cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 5th inning and launched a rocket-shot out of the park for a Grand Slam homerun (his 26th of the season) in the 9th inning. Overall Cincinnati out-hit St. Louis 14 to 8. The victory was credited to Brad Penny(8-7) who went 7 and 1/3 innings, allowing 2 runs. Zack Greinke(6-9) took the loss. He was unable to control the Cincinnati offense and allowed 12 hits and 3 walks in 8 and 1/3 innings. 'I was really seeing the ball today,' Morneau said 'I wish it was always this easy.'
