Re: Cincinnati Reds Franshice {MLB 2005}

The Cincinnati Reds Kick off the 2004 Season at Home agianst Divsion Rivals the Chicago Cubs.

For the Reds it will be Paul Wilson on the mound agianst the Cubs Ace Kerry Wood.

Right off the start both pictures were unhittable with not allowing any hits in the first 3 innings of

play. But in the 4th, Sean Casey found a hole through the defense and hit a bullet right past Alex

Gonzalez for a single. Next up Brandon Larson hit a blooper into center field fro a single and

advancing Sean Casey to 3rd. Jason Larue hit a rocket into the outfield for a double scoreing Both

Casey and Larson. For the next couple of innings both Ace`s continue to shine but in the 7th Adam

Dunn`s single scored Barry Larkin. At this point the Reds are beating the Cubs 3-0. With the tired

Wilson on the mound in the 9th, Don Gullet decides to put in the closer Danny Graves. Graves came

out cold and with his first pitch gave up a double to Moises Alou. Then Aramais Ramirez`s single

finnaly put the Cubs on the board, but Danny Graves struck out the nest 2 batters and the game

ended on a fly ball to left.

The Reds go on to win 3-1 WP:Wislon LP:Wood
Player of game: Jason Larue: 3-4 2 RBI

After A day off the Cubs and Reds were back at Great American Ballpark for a 7:30 start. On the mound

for the Reds was Jimmy Haynes and for the Cubs the itimidating Mark Prior. Dave Miley decided to give

Larson the night off and put in Ryan Freel at 3rd. Prior started off sharp striking out both Jimenez

and Larkin on a low curve ball. But that ended when the healthy Griffey Jr. stepped to the plate.

On the first pitch from Prior Griffey smacked a belt-high inside fastball over the Right Field fence

for his first Home-Run of the year and Giving the Reds an early 1-0 lead. Haynes started off the

firxt 1 and a half innings in a positive way, but Cory Patterson crushed a Low Sinker over the Left

field wall evening the score at 1-1. In the Bottom of the 6th it was easily discoved the Haynes was

getting tired letting off 2 singles to Sosa and Alou. With Brian Reith in the Bullpen still Cold

Miley decided to keep Haynes in which was a mistake. Ramirez hit a double in left field scoring Sosa

and Alou to give the 3-1 lead. Luckily Reith got them out of the inning with no more damage. Mark

Prior was unstoppable with 10 k`s and just giving up 3 hits. In the bottom of the ninth the Reds

were on the edge. Prior easily struck out both Power Hitters Griffey and Dunn. With the Reds last

hope at the plate Kearns hit a changeup to dead center over the wall, giving the Reds another chance

3-2. With Casey up at the plate batting .429 Prior got him to pop up in center field. The Cubs

even the series up 1-1

WP: Prior LP: Haynes

Player of the Game: Patterson 2-4 1 HR

The final game of the series will be at 730 with the Reds Acevedo vs the Cubs Greg Maddux on the

mound.
