Humber Helps Milwaukee Of Club

Baseball Betting Lines

Joey Votto, the defending NL MVP, accounted for the only run for the Reds with his 12th home run of the season in the eighth inning. Votto finished with two hits, as did Rolen, but Cincy batters struck out 11 times and were just 1- for-13 with men in scoring position as they stranded a total of 12 base runners. Rolen, who is batting .256 this season, is one hit shy of 2,000 for his career.

 

Talbot, who has had some issues with his control so far this season, has a record of 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA in his career versus the Reds.

 

In that matchup the California native allowed only four hits and a pair of walks, while striking out three through six innings of action to snap a personal two-game slide.

 

Despite being the top scoring team in the NL Central, the Reds are currently just 42-42 and are fourth in the standings, three games off the pace set by Milwaukee and St. Louis. Additionally, Cincinnati is now a mere 5-12 in interleague play this season, compared to the Tribe which has taken 11 of 17 outings.

 

Kevin Correia, who has a two-game winning streak, gets the ball for the Pirates. He's pitched six innings in each of those games, most recently at Toronto on Tuesday when the righty allowed five hits and four runs. He's 2-2 with a 3.28 ERA in 11 games (4 starts) all time against the Nationals.

 

The teams split a doubleheader yesterday. Ivan Rodriguez slapped a pinch-hit, RBI single in the eighth inning to lead the Nationals to a 4-3 win in the nightcap.

 

Later in the frame, with two down, Rodriguez fell behind 0-2, then fought off two fastballs before slicing a line drive to right, scoring Rick Ankiel.

 

Tony Watson (0-1) allowed the decisive hit.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Winners in nine of their last 11 contests, the Giants will wrap up their weekend set today against the Tigers hoping for their first extended series road sweep of the season. The Giants haven't swept a series of the road of at least three games since taking four in a row from Arizona, July 22-25 last season. They did take a two-game set at Dodger Stadium this year.

 

Tejada hit a grand slam and scored twice for the Giants, who also got two RBI from Aubrey Huff.

 

The Giants have gone 20-0 in games this year that they've held a lead of at least three runs.

 

Ryan Vogelsong will be on the mound this afternoon for the Giants as he tries to win a fourth straight decision. Vogelsong is coming off a win over the Cubs on Tuesday. He's 3-0 this season on the road and is scheduled to make his first career start against Detroit. The Tigers are one of three teams that he's never faced in his career (also White Sox and Blue Jays).

 

Detroit won two of three meetings with San Francisco the last time these two clubs met from June 16-18, 2008 at AT&T Park. The Giants have won seven of the last 11 matchups in this series.
