Reds vs. White Sox, Game 1.

By:Cooper Ledford
The Cincinnati Reds battled against the Chicago White Sox in game 1 of the series. Bronson Arroyo was on the mound doing the pitching for Cincinnati. In the top of the 4th inning, Arroyo gave up a 2-run homerun to make it 2-0 Chicago. Then later in the bottom of the 4th there was back to back doubles to make it close, 2-1 with the White Sox still on top. Then nothing happens until Jerry Hairston Jr. got a single, then Brandon Phillips got his 11th homerun of the season, a 2 run blast that was very important in this game, now it's 3-2, Cincinnati. In the bottom of the 7th inning the Reds got an insurance run to make it 4-2 Cincinnati. Not much happend until the top of the 9th when Fransico Cordero came in and gave up a solo homerun to make it really close 4-3, and tha'd be the final score as Bronson Arroyo picks up his 8th win of the season. Reds will stay in 3rd place in the NL Central. W-Arroyo L- Contreras. Watch the Reds try to win the series and 1st ever Civil Rights game tomorrow at 7:10 on FS Ohio.
