| Re: Freel 2 Homers Top Brewers Homers power Reds past Brewers Reds have gone 7-2 since the All-Star break Associated Press CINCINNATI - Ryan Freel hit a pair of solo homers Saturday, including a tiebreaking shot in the eighth inning that lifted the Cincinnati Reds to an 8-7 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in front of a rare capacity crowd at Great American Ball Park on Saturday.
Scott Hatteberg also homered and drove in three runs for the Reds, who are 7-2 since the All-Star break.
Todd Coffey (6-4) got the last two outs in the eighth, and Eddie Guardado -- acquired in one of those trades -- pitched the ninth to remain perfect in five save chances with Cincinnati.
Marlins 5, Pirates 0 Reds are looking good after the break and Freel is looking good of late...he is hitting .303 this season and has 21 steals...most of all he is getting plenty of playing time...I am considering picking him up for my fantasy team. |
