Game 30: Reds @ Cubs (Game 1/3: M.Leake/C.Villanueva)

Leake Has Solid Outing While Getting Offensive Support; Chapman Catches Rare Case of 'Marmol-ism' in 9th, Reds Hold on


By Ryan Bramwell

CIN (16-14) 6  9  0
CHC (11-18) 5 15 1

W: Mike Leake (2-1)
L: Carlos Villanueva (1-2)
S: J.J. Hoover (1)

Box Score


  • Leake: 5.2 IP, 2 ER, 9 H, 0 BB, 3 SO.  Not too shabby.  
  • Doubles: Frazier (6), Paul (2), Bruce (8), Mesoraco (4), Choo (9) ...lots of two-base hits
  • Votto and Choo both had two hits and scored twice.  Too bad Mario Mendoza bats between them...I'm sorry, I meant Zack Cozart.
Reds will go for two wins in a row on Saturday, when they send lefthanded rookie Tony Cingrani to the mound.  It won't be easy as the Cubs are bringing their A-game with Jeff Samardzija on the hill.
