Arroyo Pitches a Gem Against The D-Backs

 Bronson Arroyo allowed one run -- unearned because of his own throwing error -- in six innings, Jonny Gomes doubled in two runs in the ninth and the Cincinnati Reds overcame a strong pitching performance by Daniel Hudson to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-1 on Saturday night.

Arroyo (2-0) scattered eight hits as the Diamondbacks failed to convert two scoring threats in the first four innings, then Arizona reliever Juan Gutierrez's throwing error cleared the way for the Reds' four-run ninth.

Hudson (0-2) gave up two runs on three hits in seven innings, striking out eight and walking three. After scoring twice in the first inning, the Reds had only two baserunners in the next six against the 24-year-old right-hander, and neither got past first base.

Scott Rolen had an RBI single and Jay Bruce brought in the second run with a sacrifice fly for the Reds in the first.

Arizona cut it to 2-1 in the sixth when Chris Young singled, advanced from first to third on Arroyo's throwing error, then scored on Melvin Mora's two-out single.

After Cincinnati's Aroldis Chapman hit 103 mph on the Chase Field radar gun while throwing a scoreless eighth, the Diamondbacks fell apart in the ninth.

Gutierrez walked the leadoff batter, Joey Votto, and then tried to barehand Rolen's grounder. He knocked the ball down, grabbed it, then threw it away to first. Instead of what could have been a double play had the ball made it past the pitcher to an infielder, runners were at second and third with no outs.

Gomes doubled off the glove of Mora at third to bring both runners home.

Hudson struck out Drew Stubbs to start the game, then Brandon Phillips singled and Votto walked. Rolen followed with a single for his ninth RBI of the season, then Gomes walked to load the bases with one out.

Reds-Diamondbacks Series Preview.

By HD.

The Reds and the Diamondbacks will start their 3 game series today at 6:40 PT.

It should be a good series, so just sit back and listen as I break down this 3 game series.

Here we go!

GAME 1 Today 6:40 PT: Travis Wood will be pitching for the Reds who is 1-0 after a great opening start last saturday vs. The Brewers. Wood will be facing Ian Kennedy of the D-Backs who is a quality pitcher, he is 0-0 this season. The Diamondbacks are playing their first game at home this season, they are 2-3. Chris Young, (pictured right), for the D-Backs had a huge game on Wednesday vs. The Cubs when he had a Triple, a double and drove in 2 runs. Drew Stubbs will have to be a good lead 0ff hitter today if the Reds want to win. Travis Wood only gave up 2 runs to the Brewers, vs. a pretty young talented D-backs team, he will have to pitch great to get a win. MY PREDICTION: Travis Wood shines again and the Reds spoil the Diamondbacks home opener, 5-1.

GAME 2 SATURDAY 4-9-11 5:10 PT: The Veteran Bronson Arroyo will pitch for the Reds, who has been dealing with Mono, but had a great outing vs. the Brewers last Sunday, getting a win to go to 1-0. He will face Daniel Hudson, who was had great season last season with Arizona, is 0-1 this season with a 4.50 ERA. MY PREDICTION: The Reds clinch the series, with a 3-1 win and Arroyo has a awesome outing.

GAME 3 SUNDAY 4-10-11 1:10 PT: The Reds will send Mike Leake to the mound who had a great outing vs. the Astros in Game 1 of that series to get a win to go to 1-0. Joe Saunders will pitch for the D-Backs, Saunders is a left hander, and the Reds never play well vs. Left Handers.MY PREDICTION: Reds don't get the sweep, they lose 1-2.

So thats it see ya tonight! GO REDS!!!

By HD.

The Cincinnati Reds were looking to go 5-0 today and clinch the series vs. The Astros. The Reds came back to win, 12-4. Here's what happened......

The Astros led 4-0, all 4 runs were off Edinson Volquez who pitched over 45 pitches that inning, but after that, the Reds would just dominate.

The Reds got one run in the 2nd to cut the Astros lead to 3 with a Paul Janish single to plate Jay Bruce.

Reds had a 5 run 3rd inning, starting off with a Scott Rolen Double to score Brandon Phillips and Joey Votto. Chris Heisey would then get on base on an error on a terrible throw by pitcher Nelson Figueroa scoring Scott Rolen.

Reds Win With 19 Hits, Sweep The Brewers.

By HD.

The Cincinnati Reds were not picked to win the NL Central this year by a lot of people. But, today, the Reds proved them wrong.

The Reds won today, 12-3, completing a 3 game sweep to open up the 2011 Regular Season. The Reds today had 12 runs on 19 hits. Here's what happened.....

Bronson Arroyo was on the hill, he pitched well, even know he has been dealing with mono. Arroyo went 7 innings, gave up 6 hits and struck out 5. He also never allowed a walk.

In the 1st however, Arroyo allowed a lead-off homer to Rickie Weeks. But as you know, you never give up on the Cincinnati Redlegs.

In the 2nd, Jonny Gomes had a solo homer to tie the game at 1. In the same inning, Paul Janish would single to score Jay Bruce, and just like that, the Reds took their first lead, 2-1.

It wouldn't be long until the Brewers tied it again, with a double by Rickie Weeks to score starting pitcher Randy Wolf. Now, it was tied again, 2-2.

The Reds would explode in the 4th though, Drew Stubbs reached on a infield single, scoring Ryan Hanigan, Hanigan had a heck of a day today, more of him coming up. In the same inning, Brandon Phillips hit a 3 run jack and the Reds after 4 would lead 6-2.

After some dominate pitching by Bronson Arroyo in the top of the 5th, in the bottom of the 5th, Ryan Hanigan would homer and the Reds now led 7-2.

Ryan Braun would homer in the 6th, but Scott Rolen would hit a sac fly also in the 6th to score Phillips and the Reds led 8-3.

In the 6th again, Hanigan would homer again, his 2nd of the day, he also had his first ever four hit day, it was a 3 run jack scoring Joey Votto and Jonny Gomes. 11-3 Reds.

The Reds would score one last time with a Miguel Cairo single and that would do it as the Reds win it, 12-3.

The Reds don't play until Tuesday, vs. The Houston Astros. Mike Leake will be pitching for Cincy and J.J. Happ will be going for the 'Stros. Game time is set for 4:10 PT. The Reds are 3-0! GO REDS!!!!

Wood Shines, Reds win, 4-2.

By HD.

The Cincinnati Reds were looking to go 2-0 since 2005 today. But one guy would have to help them do that. That would be Travis Wood. The Reds and Wood won, 4-2. Here's what happened......

Travis Wood, (as I said in Paragraph 1), was on the hill today. He went 7 innings, gave up 4 hits and struck out 7. He went to 1-0, the only Reds started yet to get a win.

So let's start in the first when Drew Stubbs lead off on a walk, stole a base, but then tried to steal 3rd but was caught stealing and was tagged ou at 3rd. Brandon Phillips then stuck out swinging.

But, the 2010 NL MVP singled up the middle for veteran 3rd baseman Scott Rolen, who would then hit a 2 run jack into left field and the Reds lead it 2-0.

The Next inning, Ryan Hanigan would get to 2nd on a Sac Bunt by Travis Wood, next batter was Drew Stubbs who would Triple and another run would score for the Reds, as they now led 3-0.

Joey Votto would come up to the plate in the same inning, and would look like a easy ground out, Rickie Weeks fiddled with the ball and had a bad throw to first scoring Stubbs and Votto safe at 1st base. 4-0 Reds.

But, that would be all the runs scored for the Queen City Kings. The Brewers got 2 runs of their own with a Solo home run by Almonte and then in the 9th on a RBI single by Casey McGehee to score Ryan Braun.

The Reds are now leading a top of the NL Central by their selves. The Reds will face Randy Wolf tomorrow, and Bronson Arroyo will pitch for the Reds. Game time is set for 10:10 AM PT.

Reds vs. Brewers Series Preview.

By HD.

The Cincinnati Reds will start their first series tommorow vs. Milwaukee. It should be a great series. Here is a series preview of the Opening series of 2011.

AUTHORS NOTE: (Every Reds game, there will be a recap on here, OMOC Sports, and there will be a preview of every series).

Reds and Brewers face off on Thursday on Opening day!!!!

ITS OPENING DAY BASEBALL! C'mon! It's like a day you have to take off from school just to watch or work. It is a huge reason to watch. Great games are always on opening day, so lets get to it. Lets go REDS!

Game 1 THURSDAY 11:05 PM PT: Edinson Volquez will be pitching for Cincy, and Yovani Gallardo will pitch for the Brew Crew. We all remember last year when Brandon Phillips hit that 500 foot jack that landed into the yellow slide in Milwaukee right? But, this time, he will have to hit it into the people of Great American Ball Park. Volquez will looked very scary, and very terrible at times, but he will have to be the key guy to watch on opening day. The Reds also went with him in the 1st game of the playoffs last year when we lost to the Phillies. Let's see how 2010 MVP Joey Votto will do on Thursday.

GAME 2 SATURDAY 4:10 PM PT: Travis Wood, who flirted with a no-no and a perfect game last year, and see if he can go through his first full year with the Reds. The Brewers will send out Shaun Marcum to pitch. The guy to watch will be Veteran Shortstop, Edgar Renteria, last season's world series MVP, helping the Giants win the world series. Wood will be like a Greg Maddux some day hopefully. I would love to see the Reds have a Cy Young Winner like that. And how about Jonny Gomes, Jay Bruce and Drew Stubbs, the big 3 Out Fielders will have a game vs. Marcum. Marcum is not the best pitcher for the Brewers and is getting much better. And the bullpen will have to shut down the Brewers hitting staff who has Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun.

GAME 3 SUNDAY 10:10 PM PT: 2 Veteran pitchers will face off, Bronson Arroyo, who is dealing with Mono, and Randy Wolf the left hander. Jonny Gomes and Jay Bruce have had great hitting careers vs. Randy Wolf. Bruce has .438 BA, and 2 Homers and Gomes .626 BA, in 16 At Bats. Randy Wolf however, is 10-3 vs. The Reds in his career.

And that's it. The Cincinnati Reds opening series of the year will be tough, but we should win. GO REDS!!!!!

Who will be the Leader of the Reds this year?

By HD.

Last season, the Reds had a magical season lead by 2010 NL MVP Joey Votto. This year, will it be Votto, or someone else leading the Reds? Here's who I think will....

Joey Votto. Yes, MVP will always help team win games, BUT, If Votto is in a slump or injured, Drew Stubbs will have to be the leader.

Stubbs, hit .255 last year with 22 Homer and 77 RBI's. If he didnt strike out as much, Drew would have had a .300 BA. Last season, he also had a three home run game vs. the Cubs.

Another Guy that will have to lead the Reds will be Jay Bruce. I bet Astro Fans remember him! He hit the Divsion Clinching walk off home run to win the NL central. He hit .281 last year with 25 Homers and 70 RBI's.

The last guy that will need to help the Reds is Jonny Gomes. Johnny had a breakout season last year batting .266 with 18 Homers and 86 RBI's! He had a great season and early on in the season was pretty much carrying this team on his back.

So, The Big 4. Jonny Gomes, Joey Votto, Drew Stubbs, and Jay Bruce. Much Better than the lame Big 3.

GO REDS!
