Reds subdue Brewers with 19-hit barrage

Baseball Betting Lines

07/28/2010 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Scott Rolen was one of three Cincinnati players with four hits and drove in three runs as the Reds walloped the Brewers, 12-4, snapping Milwaukee's five-game winning streak.

Brandon Phillips went 4-for-6 with two RBI and two runs scored out of the lead-off spot, while Joey Votto also had four hits, drove in one and scored three times. Rolen singled four times and Ramon Hernandez knocked in three runs for Cincinnati, which bounced back from a 3-2 loss on Monday to beat the Brewers for the seventh time in the last eight tries.

Orlando Cabrera had three hits, an RBI and scored twice for the Reds, who moved into a virtual tie with St. Louis for first place in the NL Central.

While the Reds tied a season-high with 19 hits, they couldn't get Edinson Volquez a victory because the right-hander was lifted after 3 2/3 innings. In his third start of the year, Volquez allowed six hits and four runs and threw 95 pitches, 54 for strikes.

Logan Ondrusek (2-0) lasted 2 1/3 innings to record the victory.

Yovani Gallardo (9-5) clubbed a two-run homer, but was blasted on the mound for a season-high 10 hits along with six runs -- five earned -- over 2 2/3 frames. Rickie Weeks homered for a third straight game and for the 22nd time this year.

Brewers manager Ken Macha didn't want to waste a reliever in the ninth inning, so infielder Joe Inglett pitched the final frame and retired the side in order.

Rolen, in just his second game back recovering from a right hamstring injury, snapped an 0-for-16 slump as part of a two-run first inning. Phillips doubled to start the game, but was thrown out trying to stretch the hit into a triple. Cabrera doubled and scored on Votto's base hit to right field. After a base hit by Rolen and flyout from Jonny Gomes, Votto scored on a wild pitch when Jay Bruce swung at a pitch in the dirt.

Weeks scored on a Ryan Braun groundout in the bottom of the first, but the Reds struck for three more in the second - an RBI double from Hernandez and run-scoring hits from Phillips and Rolen.

Gallardo homered following a Jonathan Lucroy single in the bottom of the second, but the Brewers committed two errors in the third, leading to Phillips' RBI single. Bruce walked with the bases full in the fourth for a 7-3 cushion.

Weeks homered to left in the fourth, but Cincinnati tacked on three in the sixth - an RBI single from Rolen and two-run double from Hernandez off Chris Capuano.

Phillips doubled leading off the seventh against David Riske and scored on Cabrera's base hit. Rolen added a sacrifice fly to account for the final margin.

Game Notes

The Brewers went 1-for-9 with men in scoring position and left 11 runners on base...The Brewers have homered in 16 straight games, the longest stretch for the team since July 1-24, 2008 when they did it in a franchise-record 20 straight games.
