showing from starting pitcher Mat Latos, the
Reds take the series opener from the Pirates,
3-0, in front of a sellout home crowd of 40,829.
Chris Heisey scores first with an
inside-the-park homerun and Latos added to the
lead with a two run shot in the 5th inning.
Actors and avid Reds fans, Martin & Charlie Sheen were in
attendance.
Following the game, Marty Brennaman shaved his
head after promising to do so in July if the Reds could
win ten straight. On July 29th Cincinnati did
just that, winning their tenth straight game. Brennaman lived
up to his word. |
