Reds edge Cardinals 3-1 in opener as Walters debuts
Cincinnati manager William Henry Walters celebrated his 39th birthday and opened with a 3-1 win over St Louis. Reds misplayed two runs when Stallcup was tagged at the plate and a fielding error allowed another, yet the team out-hit the Cardinals 8-5. Stallcup suffered a severe facial injury on a Glaviano throw, likely sidelining him for a spell.
