Reds Smash Seven Homers In Romp Over Cubs
CINCINNATI (AP) - Jon Lieber became only the second pitcher in
Chicago Cubs history to give up four homers in an inning, and Joey Votto connected three times in all as the Cincinnati Reds powered their way to a 9-0 victory Thursday. Votto started a four-homer second inning off Lieber (2-2), who was making his first start of the season. Adam Dunn and Paul Bako also had solo shots, and Jerry Hairston Jr.'s two-run homer completed the history-matching rally. Brandon Phillips and Votto had back-to-back solo homers off Sean Marshall in the fifth. An inning later, Votto completed the biggest game of his two-year career with a two-run drive off Sean Gallagher, giving him seven overall for the season. The seven homers were Cincinnati's most since it hit an NL-record nine at Philadelphia on Sept. 4, 1999. |
