The Reds won the first game of a series for the first time all year, and their third consecutive game, by beating the Cardinals Monday night by a 4-3 score. This followed the optioning of Todd Coffey to Louisville, accompanied by recalling Bill Bray. Bronson Arroyo got his first win of the year by regaining command of his pitches, a feat apparently made possible by finding his balance point for his pitching delivery once again. Broadcaster Jeff Brantley made a point of pointing out Arroyo's "lean" backwards to begin his pitching motion, and showing his he was doing it right in this game. It seems to have worked. In spite of a brief lapse in the third, where he recorded all three of his walks, Arroyo pitched six innings and gave up three runs, his first "quality start" of the season. He gave up six hits and struck out six. Jared Burton, Jeremy Affeldt, and Francisco Cordero each pitched a shutout inning of relief. The Reds got two hits each from Junior Griffey, Brandon Phillips, Adam Dunn, and Edwin Encarnacion. Encarnacion had two RBI doubles. Griffey and Phillips also doubled. The win boosted the Reds into a tie for fourth with the Astros, and a bit closer to .500. Johnny Cueto will try to extend the win streak tonight, as he faces Joel Piniero. |
