7Teen, it's a three horse race for ROY. Jamie Garcia, Mike Leake, and Jason Heyward. If I'm voting today i'm voting Garcia.

I would be fine with the Sunday lineup if it were Heisey in LF opposed to Nix.

Considering how Arroyo pitched in his last start with Hernandez catching, I'm fine with Miller starting back there. I'd prefer Cairo not even be on this club, but I can't ignore the nice job he did while replacing Votto recently.

[pvfan]

I'm with you on Heisey, not sure what he has to do to get more time. 1-1 after an inning. Speaking of Nix, base hit.

[1inStripes]

First pitch for the Braves/Dodgers finale in about 5 minutes.

Prado 4
Infante 5
Heyward 9
McCann 2
Glaus 3
Hinske 7
Escobar 6
Cabrera 8
Hudson 1

Hudson should make the All-Star team with his performance so far this season. Hopefully I didn't just jinx him as the Braves look to take 3 out of 4 to start their road trip today.

[pvfan]

I'm so, so sick of Cordero. Make Rhodes the closer, of course then you may never have save opportunities.

[1inStripes]

Perfect trade.

Scoring Summary

Top 1st: Cincinnati
- J. Votto singled to shallow right center, O. Cabrera scored
Bot 1st: Washington
- R. Zimmerman singled to shallow right, C. Guzman scored
Bot 4th: Washington
- I. Desmond doubled to deep left, R. Bernadina scored
Top 9th: Cincinnati
- J. Gomes doubled to left, D. Stubbs scored

Bot 9th: Washington
- M. Morse doubled to right center, J. Willingham and I. Desmond scored
Top 10th: Cincinnati
- D. Stubbs singled to shallow right, J. Bruce scored, L. Nix to third, D. Stubbs to second advancing on throw

Reds bullpen has to get better, the last two innings of this game were embarrassing. Cordero and Masset are supposed to be major leaguers, they need to start pitching as such.

Reds move to within a half game of St. Louis, back home for four against a pretty darn good pitching ball club in the Giants.

[1inStripes]

Braves split with Dodgers as LA wins in 11 today 5-4. Another pretty solid start from Hudson.
