Reds Hit 7 HRs, Beat Padres 13-1

The Reds won their fourth straight game &mdash; one shy of their season high &mdash; with their biggest home run splurge of the season. Stauffer (7-9) gave up five homers in only three innings, tying Woody Williams' club record for most allowed in a game. Stauffer gave up three &mdash; his previous career high &mdash; in a 9-8 loss to the Mets on Monday. Reds starter Homer Bailey (7-5) gave up six hits in seven innings, including Kyle Blanks' homer. One of the major leagues' most homer-friendly ballparks was at its most gracious. All 14 runs scored off homers. The eight combined homers matched Great American's record for a game. Joey Votto hit a solo homer <a href="http://newerahatstock.com/mlb-hats-c-20.html"><strong>mlb hat</strong></a> in the first inning, latching onto a below-the-knees fastball from Stauffer. After Jay Bruce walked, Cairo hit an at-the-knees breaking pitch for a 3-0 lead. Todd Frazier led off the second with a homer, and the Reds sent eight batters to the plate for five runs in the third. Bruce hit a two-run shot &mdash; his fourth homer in the last six games &mdash; and Hanigan completed the rally with a three-run shot that left Stauffer rattled. The right-hander dropped <a href="http://newerahatstock.com/burberry-hat-c-6.html"><strong>burberry hat</strong></a> the baseball that catcher Nick Hundley tossed to the mound while Hanigan rounded the bases. Second baseman Orlando Hudson then jogged to the mound for a pep talk. Stauffer retired Bailey to end the inning and his appearance &mdash; three innings, seven hits, nine runs. It was a stunning turnaround for Stauffer, who had been at his best in his last dozen starts, putting up a 2.25 ERA. Cairo hit another two-run shot off Anthony <a href="http://newerahatstock.com/polo-hat-c-8.html"><strong>cheap polo hat</strong></a> Bass for his first multihomer game. Hanigan had a two-run shot in the eighth off Joe Thatcher for his second career multihomer game.
