San Diego 4 8 1
Cincinnati 9 13 0
By Ryan Bramwell
- Johnny Cueto earned his 14th victory today against the San Diego Padres. Johnny pitched seven and a third and gave up four runs on eight hits. He struck out nine batters and walked only one. Cueto should really only have given up two runs but a botched double play by Cairo at second base kept that from happening. Either way, Johnny was solid.
- Ondrusek and Arredondo pitched the final inning and two-thirds and did so very capably. Together they allowed one baserunner on a walk and gave up no hits.
- Scott Rolen continued his steady offense since the All-Star break as he reached base four times today. Rolen singled thrice and walked once. He also had an RBI and a run scored. His batting average is now up to .234.
- Todd Frazier bombed a two-run shot over the left-center field wall in the 2nd inning off Ohlendorf for his 13th on the year. The rookie knocked in three runs total for the game. Love this kid.
- Cozart was moved to the 6th spot in the lineup and showed some improvement there as he had a pair of hits and an RBI. I think the 7th spot will be his ideal spot in the lineup when everybody is back and healthy.
- Ryan Hanigan had a pair of hits including a double to go along with an RBI
- Jay Bruce knocked in a pair of runs and had two singles as he continues to climb.
- Miguel Cairo finally remembered that he knows how to hit a baseball and recorded two singles.
- Xavier Paul was not himself today. Apparently the leadoff spot in the Reds' lineup gives batters a hitting disease. Paul has been exceptional in limited time with the Reds, but he struck out four times today and went 0-for-5.
