  Pitching Matchup:
  
  Mike Leake ( 7 - 1 ) ERA 3.45 Vs. Wandy Rodriguez ( 7 - 11 ) ERA 5.11
• Azubuike24

  

  We might see a true lineup IN tomorrow for Dusty and the Reds.
  
  2B Phillips
  SS Cabrera
  1B Votto
  3B Rolen
  LF Gomes
  C Hernandez
  RF Heisey
  CF Stubbs
  P Leake
  
  Book it.
• dave

  Id say
  
  Phillips
  OCab
  Votto
  Gomes
  Bruce
  Cairo
  Heisey
  Hanigan
  Leake
  
  vs a lefty I could see Bruce getting the rest but Stubbs needs a break baaaad. I doubt Ramon starts a day game tomorrow, and I'm thinking Rolen will get another day and a half off until Monday night. AZ, I do think that should be the standard lineup against LHP.

  Bruce gets the day off against Wandy Rodriguez (career, he's 1 for 17 against him).

  Reds are 8-1 against Houston this year, no reason to think they can't go 9-1 especially with Leake on the mound.
• georgemc80

  Over the last two years Wandy Rodriquez has been a much better pitcher at Minute Maid Park. I expect a good effort from him.
  
  Hopefully the Reds jump out on this Astros team....This year's version of the Astros is quick to open up a can of quit in a game.
  
  You could feel it in the park last night. When Roy gave up 6....everyone in the stadium knew it was over. (it was a big crowd due to a good giveaway and possibly Roy O's last game) The only time the place got loud was when the scoreboard told them. Houston is a high baseball IQ town....they know when their boys have quit.
  
  Drunks were heckling their own players (especially Carlos Lee)
  
  The Reds need to finish this off...I don't want to see Houston steal one here.

  Break out the brooms. Mike Leake with a 2 run bomb, Reds win 8-3.

  go reds, i like this lineup against lhp
• osu45804

  

  Pretty poor bunt attempt by Heisey
• osu45804

  

  Reds only look at 5 pitches in the top of the 2nd
• osu45804

  

  Reds have made Hunter Pence look like a Hall of Famer this weekend
• SportsAndLady

  

  Wandy Rodriguez is a douche bag...thats twice he's gotten upset over a pitch that was def not a strike.
• osu45804

  

  HELL of a catch by Jonny Gomes!!
• SportsAndLady

  

  Damn nice catch playa
• osu45804

  

  Did Oswalt & Rodriguez switch starts?
• SportsAndLady

  

  Damn this game is boring!
• osu45804

  

  Hour & half and we're already through 5 1/2 Innings... Reds have 3 baserunners 1 Hit & 2 Walks
• justincredible

  

  Leake is getting Travis Wood support from the offense. Terrible.
• osu45804

  

  Last two Sundays the Reds have lost 1-0 ..... If we don't score today despite being in 1st place we'll have a league high 12 shutouts
• osu45804

  

  Another nobody hits a HR w/ only his 3rd of the year.....
• osu45804

  

  Well this one looks over ..... after a broken bat single and double now following the HR
