Reds Get The Better Of Jon Garland In Win
April 25th, 2010

Cincinnati, OH -- Sending their fans home with something to cheer about (well, until they hit traffic), the Reds pounded the Padres, 11-2, yesterday with 22,938 on hand at Great American Ballpark. Jonny Gomes carried the club, going 3-4, with a double, a home run and 5 RBI. Only allowing 2 runs (both earned) on 6 hits, over 7 innings, while striking out 7, Johnny Cueto was able to reach win #2 for the season.

Reds' skipper Dusty Baker offered some comments about the game. "We got to [Jon] Garland quickly and forced him out and made them go their bullpen a lot sooner than expected. He never got into good rhythm and we capitalized on it." The blowout didn't please the Padres too much as 2nd baseman David Eckstein was ejected after arguing with the 1st base umpire about being called out on a ground out.

The Reds look to bring their brooms as the series wraps up later today with Edinson Volquez (2-0 2.42) taking the mound for Cincy, against Kevin Correia (0-1 3.86) of San Diego.

Grand Slam Helps Reds Sweep Padres
April 26th, 2010

Cincinnati, OH -- Late inning heroics helps Reds squeeze by San Diego, 9-8. The 8th inning rally started off a double by pinch-hitting Laynce Nix to left center. Mike Adams threw a wild pitch which helped Nix advance. Stuck in a 2-2 count, Dickerson sends one over the left field wall for a 2 run homer and cuts the lead to 1 run. Cairo and Votto follow with doubles. After Rolen was intentionally walked, and Bruce and Gomes strike out, backstop Ramon Hernandez grand slams one to left to give the Reds a 3 run advantage.

The Reds will take a day off to head to Houston as their next 6 games will be away from GABP. Cincinnati's Homer Bailey (1-1 4.34) will be starting the series in his home state against Houston's Brian Moehler (0-2 9.88).
