Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Joey Votto's single to left in the bottom of
the 10th scored Chris Dickerson and gave the Reds a 3-2 win over Arizona in
the finale of a three-game set from Great American Ball Park.
Votto totaled four hits in all while Dickerson was 2-for-4 with an RBI single
of his own as Cincinnati took the final two games of this series and won for
the fifth time in seven games.
Aaron Harang pitched well, yielding just four hits and two runs over seven
full frames. The right-hander, who remains without a win over his last seven
starts, walked three and struck out eight. Francisco Cordero (1-2) received
the win for pitching a scoreless top half of the 10th.
Mark Reynolds hit a solo home run and Chad Tracy had an RBI single for the
Diamondbacks, who have lost seven of eight. Doug Davis scattered seven hits
and a run with four walks and five strikeouts over seven effective innings for
Arizona. The lefty is riding a five-start winless stretch.
Clay Zavada (1-2) took the bump to start the bottom portion of the 10th and
gave up a leadoff single to Dickerson. Ramon Hernandez walked and Jay Bruce
loaded the bases with a bunt single before Laynce Nix and Jerry Hairston were
retired. Votto, though, came through with a base hit to left to end the game.
The D'Backs had loaded the bases on three walks by Cordero in the top halfof
the 10th but Justin Upton flied out to right to end the threat.
Arizona struck for the game's first run in the second inning. Gerardo Parra
drew a one-out walk, stole second and moved to third when Miguel Montero
grounded to second. Tracy came through with an RBI base knock to left and the
D'Backs led 1-0.
The Reds tied it up in the fourth but wasted a chance to take the lead. Jonny
Gomes opened with a double and Ryan Hanigan's bunt single left runners at the
corners. Dickerson scored Gomes with a base hit back through the middle and
Paul Janish followed with a walk to load the bases with nobody out. Harang,
though, popped out, Willy Taveras grounded out and Hairston Jr. did the same
to end the threat.
Cincy juiced the bags again in the fifth with two outs but Janish went down
swinging which allowed the visitors a 2-1 lead when Reynolds' hit his 22nd of
the year with one away in the sixth.
Davis retired the Reds in order over the next two frames but the bullpen ran
into trouble in the eighth. Jon Rauch gave up a pair of singles to Hanigan and
a pinch-hitting Hernandez that left runners on the corners with one out.
Scott Schoeneweis was brought on and got Bruce to foul out. Chad Qualls then
entered and fanned a pinch-hitting Nix to escape the inning.
However, Qualls blew his fourth save of the year in the ninth as Hairston Jr.
and Votto opened with base hits. Both runners advanced on Brandon Phillips'
fielder's choice and Drew Sutton tied the game at two with a run-scoring
pinch-hit grounder to second.
