The Cincinnati Reds were trying to win their first series since mid-May. In order to do so they would need to beat Marcum the Milwaukee Brewers. Well they were down early, but fought back and won the game, 4-3. Jay Bruce and Joey Votto both played a big role in this game, but Francisco Cordero's 9th inning stands out because he picked up career save #300. Here is how the action took place.
In the 1st inning, the very first batter, Rickie Weeks, went yard. That was the 2nd time this year Weeks has leadoff the game with a home run against the Reds. Later on in the inning, Braun hit an RBI ground out, the score was 2-0.
That would remain the score until the 4th when the Brewers added a run thanks to a Betancourt RBI single to plate Hart, 3-0 Milwaukee.
So it looked as if the Reds were gonna lose the game, and series. But the Reds did not give up.
In the 7th inning, the best player in the MLB right now, Jay Bruce, went yard for the 17th time this year. It was a 2-run jack to right, and it was a 1-run game.
Next inning, with a man on, Joey Votto hit one deep to center, it was gone and the Reds took a 4-3 lead.
In the 9th inning, Dusty Baker sent in the closer, Francisco Cordero, in attempts to seal the deal and give the Reds the win. To lead off the inning, he fanned Lucroy. Next batter was Betancourt, he got him to ground out for a 1-3 put out. Then came Counsell. He struck him out! The Reds win it, and Francisco Cordero gets his 300th career save. Congratulations to him.
The Reds will get a much needed off day tomorrow, and will host the Dodgers on Friday. Game time is set for 7:10 PM ET and it will be televised on FS Ohio.
