Reds Nip Rockies, 3-2
In a tight tilt between Cincinnati and Colorado, pitcher Johnny Vander Meer was a key contributor. The left-hander earned accolades for his standout performance in the 3-2 Reds win. Vander Meer yielded 2 runs over 6.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 3, and struck out 6. His record improves to 4-3. Rob Dibble nailed down the save.

The Rockies had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Reds going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 26-year old first baseman Joey Votto came to the plate. Votto hit a run-scoring double on a 1-0 curveball from Colorado hurler Aaron Cook. It was Votto's 6th double of the year.

"When I throw strikes I'm good, if I don't I'm not very good," said Vander Meer. "So I just have to throw strikes."

The current losing streak for Colorado has reached 4 games.
