The Reds extended their winning streak to four, longest of the season, in an exciting game with a happy finish. Cincinnati got off to a 3-0 lead before Cleveland came back to tie the score, then the Reds got the final run for a 4-3 win. The Reds' offense started early, as with two out in the first Ken Griffey singled and Brandon Phillips hit an upper-deck shot for two runs. It was Phillips' 8th homer of the season. In the second, Adam Dunn added his 8th, a solo shot, for a 3-0 margin. That lead held up for awhile as Johnny Cueto looked like the good Johnny, throwing sharp no-hit, shutout ball for five innings. In the 6th the wheels fell off, and the Tribe scored three times, all on solo homers. Cueto gave up just those three hits, two walks, and struck out seven. Then the bullpen came on for the rest of the ballgame. Jared Burton got two outs but also allowed two baserunners, so Jeremy Affeldt got the last out of the 7th. David Weathers pitched a shutout 8th with two strikeouts, and Francisco Cordero struck out the side in order in the 9th for the save. The game-winner for the Reds came in the 8th as they took advantage of a control lapse. With one out, Phillips walked, Joey Votto doubled, and Edwin Encarnacion got a semi-intentional walk to load the bases. Adam Dunn then worked a walk to force in a run. Two groundouts followed, ending the inning, but the valuable run had been obtained. The Reds and Indians return to action just before 4 PM Eastern this afternoon in one of the games available for regional telecast on Fox. Aaron Harnag pitches against Fausto Carmona, who won 19 for Cleveland last year. Carmona has a 2.70 ERA this year, although he has walked an astonishing 35 batters in 49 innings. He has gotten away with it by allowing just one homer. We'll see what the Reds can do about that. |
