Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Patrick Swayze. Finally, Heaven's Chippendales roster is complete. Also, Jay Bruce had the game winning hit in his return to Cincinnati.
Key Plays
- There was a distinct lack of offense in this game. Both teams were scoreless until Houston broke through in the sixth inning. Then, with two outs, traditional Reds killers Lance Berkman and Carlos Lee singled and double respectively. Berkman scored and the Astros were winning 1-0.
- The Reds staged their comeback in the seventh inning. Scott Rolen walked to lead off the frame, and Jonny Gomes hit a double to put runners on second and third. Juan Francisco then came up to bat for Darnell McDonald. El Nino Destructor's major league debut ended in a strikeout, but still, an exciting moment. Pinch hitter Kevin Barker was intentionally walked to load the bases, and then pinch hitter Jay Bruce - as foretold by jch - hit a single to right field that scored Rolen and Gomes. Reds on top, 2-1.
- Brandon Phillips added a Great American Insurance run in the eighth inning with his 20th home run of the year.

Other Notes
- Bronson Arroyo now has a winning record, joining Edinson Volquez and Justin Lehr as the only starters better than .500. Nick Masset is the only other pitcher on the roster with a winning record.
- Francisco Cordero's 35th save beats his total from last year. It's been said again and again, but it's really impressive that So-So Cordero has not made any noteable appearances this season.
- Once again, El Nino Destructor's major league debut everybody!
- As Dude Rock and Slyde are quick to point out, Arroyo has a 2.11 ERA over his last 13 starts.
- Patrick Swayze had an appearance on M*A*S*H* back in 1981. Weird, huh?

So, after his previous save, Cordero passed Dan Quisenberry on the all-time saves list
Now he’s only six away from tying Dave Righetti. With our 19-1 run (currently underway), he should have no trouble catching him.
I'll take that bet right now
I haven’t even looked. One beer?

Good wrapup
I made it down for this one and I thought it was going to end badly. Jay Bruce prevented that! I had on BBT (I admit, I flipped it on during th Jon and Kate ads, I hate that show but I wanted to see their puppies) and Gammons said “Wandy deserved that game”—no he didn’t! He got so many lucky plays. Votto was robbed of a double for instance. Bronson deserved it just as much.
Things you probably didn’tknow: There were some great Lance Berkman hecklers there that really added some comedy. After BP hit that homerun, for example, they shouted “Hey Lance, where were ya on that play?” He turned to them and shrugged. That is the benefit of a smaller crowd—they can hear that stuff better lol. Votto picked up a Janish foul ball and reached behind the home plate net to hand it to a little girl. Everyone was too busy “awwing” and missed Janish hit. That was funny. That’s all I can think of at the moment, but the offical attendance was below 10,000.
Announced attendance: 9,852
Second lowest announced attendance in GABP history, 26 fewer than Wandy Rodriguez vs. Aaron Harang on April 28th and beating only the August 31st game against the Pirates that drew 9,087
Definitely a good argument.
Reds fans must hate Wandy Rodriguez!!

I did not realize Patrick Swayze and his wife had been married 34 years
Wow. Impressive. What a guy.
