Both the Reds and the Marlins hit a total of 7 home runs for a total of 12 runs. The Marlins had 5 home runs while the Reds had 2. The Marlins win 9-5, all but 2 runs scored virtue of long balls.
In the 1st, Hanley Ramirez hit his first home run of the season, a 2 run shot to left field off of Reds starter Bronson Arroyo and Jay Bruce hit a 2 run shot to right center field off of Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco. (Tied 2-2)
In the 2nd Greg Dobbs lead off with a solo home run to right field (Marlins 3-2). In the bottom of the 6th Reds Brandon Phillips hit his 4th home run on the seasons, a solo shot tieing the game at 3. Top of the 7th John Buck gave the Marlins back the lead with a 2 run home run to right field.
In the 8th Arroyo was replaced by relief pitcher Nick Masset. Masset then gave up a solo home run to Mike Stanton, a massive shot went 442 yards to center field, and a 3 run shot to Emilio Bonifacio, his 2nd MLB home run and 1st home run that left a park).
Marlins lead 9-3 headed to the 9th but as Brian Sanches tries to hold the Reds for a Marlins win he gave up a 1 out back-to-back singles, walks the next, and then gives up a 2 RBI double to a pinch hitter in Chris Heisey. Sanches was then replaced by Leo Nunez who strikes out the 1st batter he faces, walks the 2nd loading the bases, and then gets reigning NL MVP Joey Votto to ground out to the mound for the 3rd and final out.
Leo Nunez recieves the save, his 9th of the season breaks the 3 way tie for 2nd most saves in the league on the season and he now owns sole possesion of 2nd (Huston Street and Mariano Rivera share 1st with 10 saves). Ricky Nolasco (3-0) with the win and Bronson Arroyo (3-3) with the loss.
The Marlins beat the Reds in the 3 game weekend series in Cincinnati 2-1. Marlins are now 17-9 on the season and are a game back of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Marlins score 5 in the 1st as they win after a 9th inning scare; Florida Marlins vs. Cincinnati Reds
The Marlins had 10 at bats and hit for the cycle (the team) in the top of the 1st inning versus the Reds. Emilio Bonifacio lead of the game with a triple. Infante brought Emilio in for the 1st run of the game and long inning while sacrificing himself with a ground out. Hanley Ramirez doubled to right field, his 5th double on the season, Gaby Sanchez was walked by Reds starter Travis Wood and Mike Stanton popped out for the 2nd out. John Buck for the 2nd time in the season took the baseball out of the park, this time a 3 run home run (the other was his grand slam on opening day). The Marlins were up 4-0 at this point with 2 outs. Wes Helms singled to center field and Scott Cousins was walked. Javier Vazquez, Marlins starting pitcher, kept the inning going with an RBI single giving the Marlins the 5-0 lead. Emilio who started off the inning, ended the inning with a ground out to shortstop who got the force out at 2nd to end the long top of the 1st. Travis Wood had 45 pitches in the 1st inning.
The Marlins would get 2 more runs in the top 4th from a 2 RBI single off the bat off Hanley Ramirez bringing in Javier Vazquez (lead off the inning with a single), and Emilio Bonifacio (doubled after Vazquez).
The Marlins, as a team, batted .444 against starter Travis Wood and .176 off the Reds bullpen, Carlos Fisher, Jordan Smith, Nick Masset, and Bill Bray. Lead off man Emilio Bonifacio went 2-5 in the game with a double and triple. Gaby Sanchez went 2-3 with 2 singles and a walk. Javier Vazquez went 2-2 with 2 singles and is batting a respectable .500 (3-6 on the season).
The Reds first 4 runs were off home runs; a solo home run in the 1st by Jay Bruce and a 3 run homer by Jeremy Hermida in the 4th. The game would stay 7-4 until Leo Nuñez would come into close the game off for the Marlins in the bottom of the 9th. Leo got the lead off batter in the 9th out but faced trouble in the next batters to come up. Ramon Hernadez with a 1 out double to center field, Paul Janish then brings Hernadez with Reds back-to-back doubles (7-5 Marlins), pinch hitter in Chris Heisey struck out swinging for the 2nd out, Drew Stubbs singled in Janish (7-6 Marlins), but Leo got Jay Bruce looking for the last out. Leo would still secure the win and a save. Leo is 8-for-8 for saves.
No Reds player had a multiple hit game while the Marlins had 4 players with multiple hits (2); Emilio Bonifacio, Hanley Ramirez, Gaby Sanchez, and Javier Vazquez.
Javier Vazquez (2-2) recieved the winning nod after pitching 6 innings allowing 4 hits, 4 runs all earned, 2 home runs, walking 3, and striking out 3. Travis Wood (1-3) recieved the loss after pitching just 3.1 innings allowing 8 hits, 7 runs all earned, 1 home run, walking 2, and striking out 3.

Reds vs. Phillies: Game 2 of ALDS
The Cincinnati Reds started off strong with a lead off home run by Brandon Phillips in the top of the 1st inning (1-0) off Roy Oswalt, which secured them from not having another shutout appearance. The Reds scored again in the 2nd (2-0), 4th (solo home run by Jay Bruce; 3-0), and 5th (4-0) before the Philadelphia Phillies joined into the party. The Phillies racked up 2 scores in the 5th (4-2), 1 in the 6th (4-3), 3 in the 7th (4-6), and 1 in the 8th (4-7).
The Reds only had 4 players that got hits: Brandon Phillips, 3-for-4 a double, a solo home run, and 2 runs; Orlando Cabrera, 1-for-2, and he left the game in the 5th inning with a strained oblique muscle (I have no idea what that is); Joey Votto, NL MVP candidate went 1-for-3; and Jay Bruce, 1-for-3 with a solo home run. While the Phillies had 1 more player with a hit, 5 players with hits: Chase Utley, 2-for-4 with 2 runs and 2 RBI; Ryan Howard, 1-for-3; Jason Werth, 2-for-4 with 2 runs and 1 RBI; Raul Ibanez, 2-for-4; and Mike Sweeney, PH, 1-for-1.
The pitching match up was Bronson Arroyo vs. Roy Oswalt. Bronson Arroyo won this matchup though the Reds lost. Roy Oswalt was having a hard time with the Cincinnati Reds offense after Roy Halladay had a hay day with them, two days before hand. Oswalt only pitched for 5 innings allowing 5 hits, 4 runs (2 home runs and 3 earned), 1 walk, but did strike out 5. Bronson Arroyo pitched just 1 more out than Oswalt, 5.1 innings, allowing 4 hits, 3 runs (1 earned), 3 walks, and 2 strike outs. Oswalt's ERA for the game was 5.40 while Arroyo's was only 1.69. Neither pitcher got the winning or losing decision.

Roy Halladay throws a no-hitter to beat the Reds
On May 21, 2010 Roy Halladay threw a perfect game against the Marlins. I believe he has out done that by throwing a no-hitter in his first post season debut, in his first season with the Phillies. Halladay's perfect game was the 20th one in the MLB, while the no-hitter tonight was only the 2nd ever in postseason.
The Phillies ended up winning 4-0. The Phillies offense wasn't all that great all 4 of their runs were scored in the 1st two innings with Edinson Volquez pitching. Volquez was given the losing decision after allowing 4 hits, 4 earned runs, 2 walks, and an ERA of 21.60. After Volquez was pulled out by Reds manager Dusty Baker, 3 other pitchers tried to fix his horrendous outing they were somewhat successful. Travis Wood (rookie), Logan Ondrusek (rookie), and Bill Bray came from the bullpen to help out the Reds and they all kept the Phillies offense to tacking on more runs. Travis Wood pitched for 3 innings and 1 out allowing only 1 hit, 1 walk, 0 runs, and struck out 3. Logan Ondrusek pitched for 1.2 innings allowing 0 hits, 0 walks, 0 runs, and 0 strike outs. Bill Bray pitched for 1.1 innings also allowing 0 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, but he struck out 1 batter.
Roy Halladay was actually really close to another perfect game he only walked one batter. Halladay struck out 8 Red players, obviously allowed no hits, and pitched a full game. Only 4 Phillies players got a hit: Shaun Victorino (a double, a single, and 2 RBI), Raul Ibanez (double), Wilson Valdez (single), and the Doc (Roy) Halladay (RBI single). Chase Utley had no hits but he did record an RBI.
Only 1 error was committed in this game and it was by a horrible, horrible throw by relief pitcher Logan Ondrusek, who sailed a ball way over the first basemans head on a force out.
For any of you that missed this game, I feel deeply sorry for you. It was an amazing game even if your not a Phillies fan and if your a Reds fan some day you'll realize what an amazing historic event you witnessed. I hope every postseason game is as exciting as this but I do hope that some of them are with an offensive battle than a pitching or defense battle because I love high scoring, thrilling games.
