Hernandez pitches Nats over Reds for series split
Baseball Betting Lines
07/22/2010 -
Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Livan Hernandez threw his second complete
game of the season and Adam Dunn hit a two-run homer to power Washington's
offense, as the Nationals topped the Cincinnati Reds, 7-1, in the finale of a
four-game series.
Hernandez (7-6) gave up one run on seven hits, did not walk a batter and
struck out five. The right-hander snapped a two-start losing streak and got
his first victory since June 21.
Roger Bernadina hit a solo home run, while Adam Kennedy went 2-for-3 with an
RBI for the Nationals, who won Wednesday's game and gained a split in the
series.
Edinson Volquez (1-1), in his second start since returning from Tommy John
surgery, gave up six runs in 2 1/3 innings to take the loss.
Ramon Hernandez was brought off the disabled list Thursday and drove in the
lone run for the Reds, who allowed 24 runs in the series.
Saturday against Colorado, in his first start this season, Volquez allowed a
run in six innings and struck out nine. However, he was decidedly less
effective Thursday.
The Nationals got a run in the first inning, when Nyjer Morgan walked, stole
second, moved to third on a flyout, then scored on a groundout from Ryan
Zimmerman.
Volquez got out of that inning, but put himself in a bad position in the
second, when he walked the bases loaded with one away. Livan Hernandez
followed with an RBI single, and another run scored when Morgan grounded into
a fielder's choice, making it a 3-0 game.
Then in the third, Zimmerman led off with a single before Dunn hit his 23rd
homer of the season. Volquez threw a fastball away, and Dunn blasted it to
left field.
Willie Harris later tripled, then scored on Kennedy's single, and that was the
end of Volquez's day. Carlos Fisher entered and threw 3 2/3 scoreless relief
innings, but by that point the Reds were too far behind.
Cincinnati scored its only run in the fourth, when Ramon Hernandez grounded
into a fielder's choice with runners on the corners. Livan Hernandez shut the
Reds down from there, and Bernadina added his sixth homer of the year in the
seventh.
Game Notes
Volquez gave up five hits, walked four and struck out four. He threw only 38
of his 75 pitches for strikes...Harris finished with two hits...Ramon
Hernandez, who played first base Thursday, was on the DL with inflammation in
his left knee. In addition to bringing him off the DL, the Reds outrighted
catcher Corky Miller to Triple-A Louisville and signed free agent pitcher
Jason Isringhausen to a minor league contract.
