Game 94: Jumping Ahead Early

Reds Tally Four in the 1st Inning: Win 3rd Straight Game.

Milwaukee  2   6   1
Cincinnati   6   10  0

By Ryan Bramwell

  • The 1st inning was all the Reds needed in the terms of offense for Saturday's game against the Brewers.  Three consecutive singles from Cozart, Phillips and Bruce, followed by a sac-fly off the bat of Scotty Rolen had given the good guys a 2-0 lead.  Ryan Ludwick pounded out his 15th homer of the season in the next at-bat and boosted the lead to 4-0 before the inning was said and done.
  • Bronson Arroyo bounced back in resilient form as he tossed a quality start from the mound.  Arroyo gave up two runs on five hits through six innings of work while walking two and striking out six.  Good job, Bronson.  
  • Brandon Phillips gave the Reds added insurance in the seventh inning when he tagged a breaking ball into the left-center field seats for a 2-run shot.  The Reds were 6-2 at this point and the score didn't change from that point.
  • Arredondo, Marshall, LeCure and Ondrusek combined for the final three innings of work and allowed no runs on only a single hit.  
  • Offensively Phillips, Bruce, Ludwick and Frazier all contributed two hits apiece. Cozart reached base twice with a single and a walk.
  • The Redlegs have won three consecutive games and 10 of their last 12 overall.  Sunday they will go for the sweep of the Brewers to end an already successful homestand.
