Pitching went out the window as the Reds beat the Marlins 10-8 in eleven innings.  Since the Reds 0-2 start, they’ve gone 5-1 since.  Me likee.  Joey Votto had the game winner with a single in the eleventh and he finished three for five with a run and an RBI.  Brandon Phillips went four for five with two runs and two RBIs while Rick Hanigan went two for four with a three run home run.  Johnny Gomes also went yard in the game.

Bronson Arroyo was pelted for five runs but he lasted six innings.  Micah Owings pitched two innings of shutout relief to improve to 2-0 while Francisco Cordero pitched a shutout eleventh for save number four.

Game number three is tonight.  Homer Bailey throws against Chris Volstad.  It’s early but the Reds are only a half game back of the Cardinals.
