Cueto, Reds blank D'Backs
Baseball Betting Lines
07/01/2009 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Johnny Cueto tossed six shutout innings and the Reds bullpen finished the two-hitter from there, as Cincinnati blanked Arizona, 1-0, in the second of three games with the Diamondbacks.
Cueto (8-4) surrendered one hit and struck out eight, but walked four. However, he kept the Diamondbacks off the scoreboard, and Arthur Rhodes, David Weathers and Francisco Cordero each tossed a scoreless inning of relief as the Reds notched their seventh shutout this season.
Rhodes allowed the only other hit and walked two, while Cordero notched his 19th save this season.
Joey Votto went 2-for-4 and drove in the game's lone run for Cincinnati, which went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position, but held on to win for the third time in its last four games.
Jon Garland (4-8) allowed the one run on six hits in six innings of work for the Diamondbacks, and was dealt the loss. He has not won a start since May 19, going 0-6 in eight outings since then.
Felipe Lopez and Gerardo Parra had a hit each for Arizona, which won the opener of this series on Tuesday, but lost for the ninth time in its last 11 games. The Diamondbacks have not won back-to-back games since defeating Kansas City on June 17 and 18.
The Reds pushed a run across in the sixth, which Chris Dickerson opened with a single. Dickerson went to second on Jerry Hairston Jr.'s groundout, then scored when Votto's blooper fell for a single.
The Diamondbacks had a tremendous chance to score in the next inning, as Parra reached base on a bunt single to lead off. Parra moved to second on Rhodes' wild pitch, and Chris Young followed with a walk.
The runners moved into scoring position on Miguel Montero's sacrifice, but Rhodes struck out pinch-hitter Ryan Roberts. After Rhodes walked pinch-hitter Tony Clark, he got Lopez to fly out to end the threat.
Cincinnati had a scoring opportunity in the bottom of the seventh, loading the bases with one out. But Clay Zavada, who began the frame in place of Cueto, fanned Dickerson for the second out before Juan Gutierrez entered and ended the inning on a Hairston pop-out.
Weathers worked a 1-2-3 eighth and Cordero tossed a perfect ninth to secure the 1-0 victory.
