Gonzalez continues torrid pace as Rockies down Reds
Baseball Betting Lines
09/07/2010 -
Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carlos Gonzalez, arguably the league's hottest
hitter, blasted an early three-run homer to help lift the streaking Colorado Rockies to a 4-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Gonzalez extended his hit streak to 15 with his 32nd home run, and the Rockies
won for the fifth straight game to close to within four games of first-place
San Diego, which is currently playing Los Angeles. Gonzalez, who jumped into
the Triple Crown race, has 31 hits in his last 59 at-bats with seven homers
and 21 RBI.
The former Oakland and Arizona farmhand currently leads the National League
with a .340 batting average and 100 RBI, but trails Albert Pujols by three
home runs.
Miguel Olivo added three hits and an RBI, while Jhoulys Chacin (8-9) allowed
two runs on six hits in six innings to earn the win. Huston Street picked up
his 16th save, as the Rockies won for the eighth straight time over Cincinnati
at Coors Field.
Drew Stubbs hit a two-run single, while Jonny Gomes homered for the Reds, who
have lost four of five but still lead the Cardinals by six games in the NL
Central after St. Louis lost to Milwaukee on Tuesday.
Johnny Cueto (12-5) allowed four runs -- three earned -- on seven hits and two
walks in six innings to take the loss.
Gonzalez's incredible stretch continued in the opening inning.
Eric Young Jr. and Dexter Fowler opened the game with consecutive singles, and
Gonzalez made it count with a three-run blast to left for an early lead.
The Reds didn't get on the board until a mental mistake by the Rockies in the
fourth.
With runners on first and second and two outs, Ramon Hernandez hit a ground
ball toward the third baseman Melvin Mora. Instead of throwing to first to get
the slow runner in Hernandez, Mora attempted to run and tag third, but Joey
Votto beat the play. Stubbs followed with his single for a one-run game.
An error by Brandon Phillips helped Colorado increase its lead to 4-2 in the
sixth. With two outs and nobody on base, Seth Smith hit a weak ground ball to
Phillips, who couldn't handle it. Olivo followed with a line drive in the
left-centerfield gap, scoring Smith on the double.
Matt Belisle maintained the Rockies' lead with a scoreless seventh, but Rafael
Betancourt allowed a two-out solo homer to Gomes to make it a 4-3 game heading
to the ninth.
Street pitched around a two-out single in the ninth to polish off the win.
