Cincinnati 4 Atlanta 2
The Cincinnati Reds won their third staright doubling up Atlanta 8-4. The sixth place Reds are now 28-33 fifteen games out of first but only one behind fifth place Los Angeles.
Cincinnati has been diligently retooling their penetrable starting pitching through one trade and by religiously scaning the aiver wires. The team has been 13-11 over its last twenty-four games.
The Reds have received some stout starting pitching over that span. Wayland Ayala is 2-0, Jack Staiger 3-1, and newly acquired Phil Terry is 1-1.
Mele has been 3-2 over that stretch with a 3.5 ERA was a loser his last time out, but went eight innings in this one, giving up three runs (two earned) scattering nine hits walking three and posting six strikeouts.
John Bowie had three hits in the game raising his batting average to .359, which would rank second in the league behind leader Brooklyn's Bill King's .364 if he had enough at bats.
Atlanta's Charlie Criscola hit a solo homerun (6th) in the 1st inning putting Atlanta in front 1-0.
The Reds had to wait until the 2nd inning before they scored two runs to take a 2-1 lead. Ray Gordon and Gus Hendrick had run scoring singles in the rally.
Tucker Phelps doubled and scored on Don Knudson's fourth inning run scoring single to make it 3-1 Reds.
One inning later Atlanta starting pitcher Heinie Calvert (LP 0-7) walked fellow pitcher Mele with one out. Bowie sent Mele all the way around to third base with a solid single to center field. Then with two outs right fielder Pete Murphy gave the Reds a run when he dropped Phelps' two out fly ball. 4-1 Reds.
Atlanta scored an unearned run in the 6th when Knudson threw away Olloie Martinez grounder. Marinez went to third on a single by Criscola and scored on a double play (4-6-3). 4-2 Reds.
The Reds added two more in the 8th off reliever Bill Repogle. Phelps singled to start the inning but was caught stealing. Al Lankford singled and stole his first base of the season. That put him in scoring position for pinch hitter Matt Ethridge to single him home with two outs.
Ethridge got the green light to go with two gone and he pilfered second (7th SB for him). Rookie Fred Parker doubled past the desperate dive of first baseman Ollie Martinez to make it 6-2 Reds.
Criscola hit his second homerun of the game and 7th of the season in the 8th to cut the score to 6-3.
The Reds responded with two in the 9th inning. Pinch hitter Jesus Roberge single. Bowie collected his third hit of the game, a triple and he came in on a sac-fly by Phelps.The Reds wnet on to close out the 8-4 win but had to use closer Bobby Zamora on a scheduled off day when Bud Crowley could get only one out in the 9th giving up a run.
Zamora made quick work of it getting Ollie Martinez to hit his first pitch to Lankford at second baseman AL Lankford, who started a 4-6-3 DP to end the game. Zamora now has four saves.
