Cincinnati, OH--- It only took one inning for the Reds to top off the Tigers for the second consecutive days. After trailing 4-0 in the 2nd inning, the Reds came back with a little offensive of their own. Drew Smyly ( 6.92, 4-5) struck out the first 3 of the four batters he faced but in the 2nd, Cincinnati made him pay; touching him up for 11 runs on 9 hits in just 1.1 innings." I've never seen anything like it," said Dusty Baker following the 11-4 win on Saturday. The Reds have only scored double digit runs twice in the 2012 season, both coming against St. Louis on April 9th and 10th. "To score that many runs after they put up 4 on us early was huge," said Jay Bruce who connected on a grand slam in the 2nd inning of the Reds win. Homer Bailey couldn't find his stuff in the 2nd and gave up 4 runs on 5 hits in the 2nd, and it looked like it was going to be a bullpen game for the Reds. Bailey managed to get through the 6th, thanks to the Reds productive offense. Justin Verlander ( 3.28, 5-5) will try to stop the Reds offense on Sunday, as the Tigers look to avoid the sweep. Johnny Cueto ( 2.56, 3-4) will take the mound as he looks to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Pittsburgh in his last outing. First pitch is scheduled for 1:10, first 10,000 fans will receive a Brandon Phillips bobble-head..
