The Florida Marlins won yesterday, and the Reds looked pretty terrible until late in the game.  Well, today, the Reds looked terrible until late in the game too.  Last night, the Reds' 9th inning rally was not enough to win the game, but today, their 8th and 10th inning rallies were enough, they win it 4-3, here is how.


In the 1st inning, Omar Infante hit an RBI single to center, Coghlan scored, it was 1-0.  So Edinson Volquez gives up another 1st inning run.


In the 8th inning, Wes Helms hit an RBI double, two runs would score, it was 3-0 Fish.  Those two runs came off Aroldis Chapman by-the-way, his first two earned runs Chapman has given up this year.


In the Cincinnati 8th, there were two outs, and none on.  Then the Reds put together 5 strait hits, including a Jonny Gomes RBI single, a Miguel Cairo RBI single, and a Paul Janish RBI single.  Just like that the Reds tied the game up, 3-3 the score.


The game would remain tied until the 10th.  Brandon Phillips lead off the inning with a walk, followed by a Jonny Gomes walk.  Then Miguel Cairo laid down a bunt in front of the plate, the pitcher, Mike Dunn, threw it to 1st, and the throw forced the 1st baseman to come off the bag, Cairo would reach, the bases were loaded and no one was out.  A great situation for the Reds.  At-bat was Ramon Hernandez, they brought some outfielders in, so there were 6 infielders, including the pitcher, Ramon was looking to at least hit a fly ball to deep center, but instead he hit a grounder to short, Rameriaz would go home to get the force out.  The bases were still loaded though, but with 1 out.  Paul Janish was the batter now, and he popped one up!  Was it a sac fly to win the game?!  No, it was a little pop up to 1st, two gone.  Then Edgar Renteria came up as a pinch hitter, 1-2 was the count, and he hit one to left field, a BASE HIT, A RUN SCORES, AND THE REDS WIN! The former Marlin punishes his old team with a walk off single.  


The Reds are now over .500, 14-13 their record, and sit 2 games behind St. Louis for 1st place in the NL Central.


The Reds will not play until next month.  Or tomorrow, how ever you want to look at it.  Game time is set for 4:10 (later start due to the Flying Pig Marathon), the game will be televised on Fox Sports Ohio.
