Gomes helps Arroyo with shut-out.

By: Cooper Ledford
Johnny Gomes hit 3 home runs against the Nationals today becoming the 24th Red to hit 3 home runs. If that is not enough Bronson Arroyo gave up 2 hits and 0 ER in a complete game. The Reds win 7-0. In the bottom of the 2nd after a Laynce Nix double, Gomes hit his 1st home run 2-0 Reds, that was all Arroyo would need, but Gomes, Phillips, and Hanigan got a total of 5 more. In that same inning Ryan Hanigan hit a solo home run 3-0 Reds on top. Then in the 5th Nix and Gomes repeated what they did in the 2nd inning, a Nix double, and a Gomes home rin 5-0 Reds. Then Gomes hit another home run in the 6th 6-0 Cincinnati on top. Then with Votto on 1st Phillips hit a double and Votto scored 7-0 Reds and that was the final. Arroyo breezed through the Nationals lineup inning after inning. He pitched his third complete game of the season to earn his 11th win of the season.
