07/02/2009 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Joey Votto's single to left in the bottom of the 10th scored Chris Dickerson and gave the Reds a 3-2 win over Arizona in the finale of a three-game set from Great American Ball Park.
Votto totaled four hits in all while Dickerson was 2-for-4 with an RBI single of his own as Cincinnati took the final two games of this series and won for the fifth time in seven games.
Aaron Harang pitched well, yielding just four hits and two runs over seven full frames. The right-hander, who remains without a win over his last seven starts, walked three and struck out eight. Francisco Cordero (1-2) received the win for pitching a scoreless top half of the 10th.
Mark Reynolds hit a solo home run and Chad Tracy had an RBI single for the Diamondbacks, who have lost seven of eight. Doug Davis scattered seven hits and a run with four walks and five strikeouts over seven effective innings for Arizona. The lefty is riding a five-start winless stretch.
Clay Zavada (1-2) took the bump to start the bottom portion of the 10th and gave up a leadoff single to Dickerson. Ramon Hernandez walked and Jay Bruce loaded the bases with a bunt single before Laynce Nix and Jerry Hairston were retired. Votto, though, came through with a base hit to left to end the game.
The D'Backs had loaded the bases on three walks by Cordero in the top halfof the 10th but Justin Upton flied out to right to end the threat.
Arizona struck for the game's first run in the second inning. Gerardo Parra drew a one-out walk, stole second and moved to third when Miguel Montero grounded to second. Tracy came through with an RBI base knock to left and the D'Backs led 1-0.
The Reds tied it up in the fourth but wasted a chance to take the lead. Jonny Gomes opened with a double and Ryan Hanigan's bunt single left runners at the corners. Dickerson scored Gomes with a base hit back through the middle and Paul Janish followed with a walk to load the bases with nobody out. Harang, though, popped out, Willy Taveras grounded out and Hairston Jr. did the same to end the threat.
Cincy juiced the bags again in the fifth with two outs but Janish went down swinging which allowed the visitors a 2-1 lead when Reynolds' hit his 22nd of the year with one away in the sixth.
Davis retired the Reds in order over the next two frames but the bullpen ran into trouble in the eighth. Jon Rauch gave up a pair of singles to Hanigan and a pinch-hitting Hernandez that left runners on the corners with one out. Scott Schoeneweis was brought on and got Bruce to foul out. Chad Qualls then entered and fanned a pinch-hitting Nix to escape the inning.
However, Qualls blew his fourth save of the year in the ninth as Hairston Jr. and Votto opened with base hits. Both runners advanced on Brandon Phillips' fielder's choice and Drew Sutton tied the game at two with a run-scoring pinch-hit grounder to second.
Game Notes
Cincinnati swept a three-game series from the Diamondbacks in Phoenix from May 11-13 and has won seven of its last eight matchups with Arizona...Hanigan was 3-for-3 with a walk for Cincy, which had 14 hits but stranded 16 runners...Arizona left seven men on base.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
