The Reds beat the Indians today 9-5 in a game that was closer than it had a right to be. Bronson Arroyo recovered to post a solid start and got his fifth win.

The game was scoreless until the fifth (because Adam Dunn was thrown out at the plate in the second) when the Reds tallied five runs. After Norris Hopper of the incredibly deepening slump grounded out, Dave Ross singled, Jerry Hairston doubled, a wild pitch brought Ross home, Jeff Keppinger doubled to score Hairston, Ken Griffey flied out, Brandon Phillips singled home Keppinger, and Edwin Encarnacion capped things with a two-run homer. It was a big rally.

Arroyo pitched five shutout innings but allowed two runs in the sixth. In the 7th, Adam Dunn hit a three-run homer to rebuild the lead. The Reds got another later when Encarnacion singled home Phillips.

The bullpen struggled a bit to the point of letting the Indians think they had a chance. Arroyo gave up two runs in six innings, then Mike Lincoln loaded the bases in the 7th and was pulled with two out. Gary Majewski got the last out when Phillips made a terrific play, but gave up two hits and a run in the 8th. Jeremy Affeldt pitched the ninth and gave up two more runs. But it worked out.

The Reds now return home to play three with Pittsburgh and four with Washington. A good run at home against those mediocre teams could boost the Cincinnati record quite a bit.
