Game Notes

Reds find the right spots to beat the Braves 2-1.

Cincinnati gets a pair of well-placed hits to slip by Atlanta and stay within 1/2 game of St. Louis in the NL Central. Brandon Phillips places a triples out of the reach of Brian Heyward to score Ramon Hernandez in the 5th inning and then scores when Orlando Cabrera beats out a throw at first by shortstop Alex Gonzalez.

Pitching dominates much of the contest as Tommy Hanson and Edinson Volquez and strong bullpen efforts keep both offenses down.


Starting pitchers:
Braves - Hanson
Reds - Volquez

Winning pitcher: Volquez (2-1)
Losing pitcher: Hanson (8-8)
