Bailey, Reds shut out Pirates again for sweep
Baseball Betting Lines
05/12/2010 -
Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Homer Bailey pitched his first career
shutout, allowing only four hits, as the Cincinnati Reds completed a three-
game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 5-0 win at PNC Park.
Joey Votto hit a two-run homer and Drew Stubbs went 2-for-4 with a solo shot
for the Reds, who earned their first sweep of the Pirates since September
22-24 of last year in Pittsburgh. Bailey (1-2) added six strikeouts to his
ledger without walking a batter. He came into the contest with a 7.24 earned-
run average in six previous starts this season.
Bailey, who threw just 90 pitches, is the second straight Cincinnati starter
to throw a shutout, as Johnny Cueto threw a one-hitter in a 9-0 win over the
Pirates on Tuesday night. It was the first time Reds starters tossed back-to
back shutouts since Jose Rijo and Tom Browning did so on June 9-10, 1989,
against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
Garrett Jones had a pair of hits, while Steve Pearce and Lastings Milledge
each singled for Pittsburgh's only offense. The Pirates have dropped four in a
row. Zach Duke (2-4) was roughed up for nine hits and five runs with two
strikeouts and one walk in five innings of work.
Cincinnati posted runs in each of the first two innings to grab the early
lead. Brandon Phillips doubled with one out in the first and crossed the plate
when Votto followed with a two-run homer. Ryan Hanigan's RBI double and a
bloop run-scoring single by Orlando Cabrera in the second made it a 4-0 game.
Stubbs cracked a solo homer to straightaway center in the fourth to give
the Reds a five-run cushion.
Bailey retired seven straight batters before surrendering a single to Milledge
leading off the eighth. However, the right-hander got Andy LaRoche to bounce
into a force out and Jason Jaramillo to hit into a nicely-turned 4-6-3 double
play.
The Reds went quietly in the top of the ninth, then in the bottom half, Bailey
retired the Pirates in quick order to complete the gem.
Game Notes
The Pirates, who swept a three-game set from Cincinnati from April 16-18,
finished 4-5 on their nine-game homestand...Bailey improved to 5-0 in five
career starts against Pittsburgh...Duke dropped to 3-7 in 12 lifetime starts
versus the Reds, who have won five straight overall.
