Final Score: Chicago 8, New York 2
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Scott Feldman pitched into the seventh inning
and contributed two RBI as Chicago took an 8-2 win over the New York Mets in
the second of three from Wrigley Field on Saturday. Feldman (4-3) scattered
seven hits and a walk over 6 2/3 innings to win his fourth straight decision
and added a two-run double in the fourth inning to help the Cubs win for a
fifth time in seven games. Nate Schierholtz and Anthony Rizzo each gave a
solo home run in the win for Chicago. Jeremy Hefner (0-5) gave up four runs
on five hits in just four innings of work for the Mets, who had won their
previous two after dropping six straight.
Final Score: Cincinnati 10, Philadelphia 0
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Bronson Arroyo tossed 7 2/3 scoreless
innings and struck out six as the Cincinnati Reds blanked the Philadelphia
Phillies, 10-0, in the second of a three-game set from Citizens Bank Park. The
Reds put up a three-spot in the second inning to provide a cushion for Arroyo
(4-4), who yielded just five hits while issuing two walks. Following
consecutive singles by Todd Frazier and Donald Lutz, each of whom had two hits
and an RBI, catcher Ryan Hanigan delivered a no-doubter to left field for his
first home run of the season. Joey Votto went 4-for-4 with a homer and drew
two walks in six trips to the plate for Cincinnati, which won for the 11th
time in 14 contests. Kyle Kendrick (4-2), who had gone at least six innings
while allowing two runs or less in seven straight starts, was tagged for four
runs on eight hits over six innings to absorb the loss. The Reds put six more
runs across the plate against Phillies relievers.
