Two solo home runs wasn’t enough for Scott Rolen because he came through for the Reds in the tenth with an RBI single to give the Reds their fourth win. Three hits and three RBIs isn’t too shabby and with Rolen’s solid start, I’m not missing E-squared all that much anymore. Orlando Cabrera also pitched in with a two run home run in the 6-5 win.
Johnny Cueto had a rough start but the pen and the hitters bailed him. He gave four runs in his five innings of work. Nick Massett pitched a shutout ninth and he improved to 2-0 while Francisco Cordero pitched a shutout tenth for save number three.
Game two of the series is tonight. Bronson Arroyo gets the start against former Tiger Nate Robertson. Game time is 7:10.
