We take your weak resistance and throw it in your face! We need no introduction for Astro annihilation! Reds win, 6-4.
Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Joey Votto. Our studly first baseman went 3-4 with his 24th home run of the season. Honorable mentions go to Hunter Pence, Logan Ondrusek, and Orlando Cabrera.
Key Plays
- The Astros jumped out to an early lead, assuring there would be no perfect game for Travis Wood. Angel Sanchez and Lance Berkman hit one out singles. Sanchez moved to third on Carlos Lee's fly out (they do not go first to third in Houston), then scored on the first of Hunter Pence's four hits. Astros lead, 1-0.
- The Reds had only managed one hit off of Bud Norris until the fourth inning when Orlando Cabrera singled and went to second on Chris Johnson's throwing error. Norris then walked Joey Votto and Jonny Gomes, and the bases were loaded with no outs. Jay Bruce hit a sacrifice fly to score Cabrera, and then Miguel Cairo got hit by a pitch to reload the bases. Joey Votto got thrown out at home on Drew Stubbs's grounder, but with two outs, Ryan Hanigan singled and Gomes and Cairo scored. Reds lead, 3-1.
- In the bottom of the inning, Hunter Pence once again singled, and went to third on Jeff Keppinger's single (former Reds know what's up). Chris Johnson hit a sacrifice fly to bring in Pence. Reds lead, 3-2.
- Joey Votto hit a two out solo homer in the fifth inning. He's so great. Reds lead, 4-2.
- In the sixth inning, Carlos Lee led off with a single, then Hunter Pence (grrr, Pence!) hit a shallow fly to left field that found its way into the Crawford Boxes. Game tied, 4-4.
- Tim Byrdak came into pitch the eighth inning, and Astros fans immediately wish he hadn't. Joey Votto and Jonny Gomes had back to back singles off of him, and Jay Bruce pulled a double down the right field line to drive in the go-ahead run. Nelson Figueroa came in to relieve Byrdak and quickly struck out Miguel Cairo. Then Drew Stubbs hit a blast to center field. It was caught, but it was deep enough to score Jonny Gomes. Reds win, 6-4.
Other Notes
- This was Francisco Cordero's 100th save as a Red. He's only the 4th Red to save 100 games. His 277 career saves are 25th best of all time, but assuming that Jason Isringhausen gets called up to the big league team, six other current and former Reds are ahead of him. How many can you name without looking?
- Logan Ondrusek got his first career win. Travis Wood is still searching for his.
- Noted failure at driving people in, Ryan Hanigan, got his first RBI since May 21. That gives him 19 this season, and 22 in the rest of his career.
- Hunter Pence got four hits in a game for the first time since June 3, 2009.

Finally gave in and looked it up
The last two are tough, partly because I’d never expect them to be so high up on the list and partly because their stints with the Reds were short.
I think we should get extra credit if we say Bob Wickman. He never played for the Reds, but they did own him.

Good recap
I think “studly first baseman” covers it. Last time Votto came off of rest (that first game back after his neck problem) he got 4 hits. 3 hits isn’t too bad—maybe a little bit of rest really does make a difference.
I can’t believe Cordero has that many saves with how many ruunners he allows. He just makes me feel a bit sick every time he goes out there. Amazingly, he is, more often than not, getting the job accomplished.
I’m still concerned about some things—the offense did score 6 runs, but it seemed like more than that was very possible. Hopefully we can get enough to beat Oswalt tomorrow, if he is still an Astro tomorrow.
Beat Oswalt?
One side of me says to go about it Tayna Harding style. That dude has simply skulldrugged us and dragged our carcus around over the years.
The other side of me is hopeful he may defect to our side and in that case, it would help us if he had two serviceable kneecaps.

I'm heading to RFK tonight to work the friendly between DC United and Portsmouth
Portsmouth is a team that went bankrupt and couldn’t afford to pay its players. They really need the money, but they’ve only brought a limited number of players with them on this North American tour, and some of them have already picked up injuries. They only have 12 healthy players available, so ten of them are going to have play the whole game. On a day when the heat index is nearing 110. This ain’t southern England, boys!

Both teams will play hard, but there’s nothing on the line. Just a chance for Midwesterners to see one of the top teams in the world in their own backyard.

Manchester United is another club that's wildly in debt (which didn't happen until it was bought by some Americans)
So they’re on a moneymaking North American tour as well. They already played the Philadelphia Union in a surprisingly close game, and will later be the opponent for the MLS All-Star team.
All the European teams are just beginning their preseason right now, so these are warm ups for them. But it’s still exciting for an MLS team to beat a European giant (DC United beat Ronaldinho and AC Milan in a friendly earlier this year).

It’s been hotter, but the humidity is unreal. I thought it was humid last week, but today, the air feels feels so heavy and thick it’s like pea soup.
