MILWAUKEE (67-70)
Tomo Ohka looks to win his third straight decision Monday, as the Brewers open a three-game series against the Reds at Great American Ball Park. Ohka has not lost since August 13 against Cincinnati, going 2-0 with a no- decision in his last three starts.
After posting consecutive victories over Houston and Florida, Ohka appeared in relief against Atlanta on August 27 and yielded one run on four hits in one inning of work. He then started versus Pittsburgh four days later and escaped with a no-decision after surrendering five runs on nine hits in six frames.
Ohka is 5-3 on the road this year and 3-2 lifetime against the Reds. However, he is 0-2 versus Cincinnati in 2005. In the August 13 contest, the righthander gave up three runs on nine hits in 6 1/3 innings.
Milwaukee gained a split of a four-game series against San Diego with a 3-2 triumph on Sunday. Brady Clark's squeeze bunt drove in Corey Hart with the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Bill Hall and Wes Helms also knocked in runs and Doug Davis threw 7 1/3 strong innings in another no-decision. Davis allowed just two runs and seven hits while fanning seven, but failed to win for the 14th consecutive outing. He has four losses and 10 no-decisions since a June 22 win over the Cubs.
Derrick Turnbow (6-1) received the victory after throwing a scoreless top of the ninth.
Milwaukee leads the season series against Cincinnati, 5-4.
CINCINNATI (63-73)
Brandon Claussen pitches for Cincinnati on Monday. The lefthander suffered the loss against Houston in his last start on August 31, allowing four runs on eight hits in just 5 2/3 innings.
Prior to the setback versus the Astros, Claussen had gone 5-0 with a no- decision in six previous starts.
The lefthander is only 1-3 in his career versus Milwaukee with an 8.31 ERA in six starts. He has faced the Brewers three times this year and is 0-2 with an 8.56 earned run average.
The Reds salvaged the finale of a three-game series against Atlanta on Sunday. Austin Kearns ripped a go-ahead, RBI double in the 12th inning and Jason LaRue followed with a pinch-hit grand slam, as Cincinnati beat the Braves, 8-3, at Turner Field.
The Reds snapped a five-game slide while Atlanta had a three-game winning streak come to an end.
With the score tied at 3-3 in the 12th, Edwin Encarnacion and Ken Griffey Jr. both singled with one out to put men on first and third for Kearns, who unleashed a double to right off of Braves reliever Dan Kolb (3-7). Kolb then intentionally walked Sean Casey to load the bases before LaRue entered as a pinch-hitter for Cincinnati reliever Matt Belisle.
LaRue crushed a ball deep into the seats in left, just inside the foul pole.
Matt Belisle (3-6) threw an inning of scoreless relief to pick up the win for Reds, who also received homers from Griffey and Javier Valentin. It was the 536th home run of Griffey's career, tying him with Mickey Mantle for 12th all- time.
