Cincinnati beat the Florida Marlins 5-3 with another strong performance by Edinson Volquez, but it may have been very costly as shortstop Jeff Keppinger was hurt. Keppinger fouled a ball off his knee in the second inning, breaking his kneecap. Tests will determine how long he will be out.

Volquez went six innings and gave up one run, showing no ill effects from his long outing last time. This time, he threw 110 pitches. He gave up seven hits and two walks and struck out five. The bullpen was a bit leaky. Jared Burton was removed after getting two outs in the 7th, as he gave up two hits, a walk, and a run. Bill Bray got the last out. David Weathers gave up a solo homer in the 8th. Francisco Cordero pitched a shutout 9th for his seventh save.

Corey Patterston, entering the game late, got two hits, as did Joey Votto and Jerry Hairston. Votto hit a solo homer in the 7th, Hairston had a double. Dave Ross hit a single and walked twice. Ken Griffey had the night off as Hairston started in right field, then moved to shortstop when Keppinger went out and Patterson came in to play center, with Ryan Freel moving from center to right.

What about shortstop now? No official word, though Jerry Hairston probably starts for now. The Reds may call up Paul Janish from Louisville. Hopefully Keppinger will only miss a couple of weeks.
