Hernandez pitches Nats over Reds for series split

Baseball Betting Lines

07/22/2010 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Livan Hernandez threw his second complete game of the season and Adam Dunn hit a two-run homer to power Washington's offense, as the Nationals topped the Cincinnati Reds, 7-1, in the finale of a four-game series.

Hernandez (7-6) gave up one run on seven hits, did not walk a batter and struck out five. The right-hander snapped a two-start losing streak and got his first victory since June 21.

Roger Bernadina hit a solo home run, while Adam Kennedy went 2-for-3 with an RBI for the Nationals, who won Wednesday's game and gained a split in the series.

Edinson Volquez (1-1), in his second start since returning from Tommy John surgery, gave up six runs in 2 1/3 innings to take the loss.

Ramon Hernandez was brought off the disabled list Thursday and drove in the lone run for the Reds, who allowed 24 runs in the series.

Saturday against Colorado, in his first start this season, Volquez allowed a run in six innings and struck out nine. However, he was decidedly less effective Thursday.

The Nationals got a run in the first inning, when Nyjer Morgan walked, stole second, moved to third on a flyout, then scored on a groundout from Ryan Zimmerman.

Volquez got out of that inning, but put himself in a bad position in the second, when he walked the bases loaded with one away. Livan Hernandez followed with an RBI single, and another run scored when Morgan grounded into a fielder's choice, making it a 3-0 game.

Then in the third, Zimmerman led off with a single before Dunn hit his 23rd homer of the season. Volquez threw a fastball away, and Dunn blasted it to left field.

Willie Harris later tripled, then scored on Kennedy's single, and that was the end of Volquez's day. Carlos Fisher entered and threw 3 2/3 scoreless relief innings, but by that point the Reds were too far behind.

Cincinnati scored its only run in the fourth, when Ramon Hernandez grounded into a fielder's choice with runners on the corners. Livan Hernandez shut the Reds down from there, and Bernadina added his sixth homer of the year in the seventh.

Game Notes

Volquez gave up five hits, walked four and struck out four. He threw only 38 of his 75 pitches for strikes...Harris finished with two hits...Ramon Hernandez, who played first base Thursday, was on the DL with inflammation in his left knee. In addition to bringing him off the DL, the Reds outrighted catcher Corky Miller to Triple-A Louisville and signed free agent pitcher Jason Isringhausen to a minor league contract.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
