PHILADELPHIA (AP) ― Bronson Arroyo has these Philadelphia Phillies all figured out.
Arroyo pitched five-hit ball over 7 2/3 innings, Joey Votto was 4 for 4 with a homer, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Phillies 10-0 Saturday.
Arroyo (4-4) struck out six and allowed one runner to reach third in winning his third straight start against Philadelphia. He was 1-7 in his first 10 games against the Phillies, but is 3-0 with a 1.52 ERA in three starts against them since last Aug. 22.
“This game is so funny,” Arroyo said. “One pitch can surely change things. I’ve been able to keep their power guys quiet so that’s helped.”
Votto had a two-run shot and walked twice to reach safely six times. Ryan Hanigan hit a three-run homer.
Braves top DodgersATLANTA (AP) ― The Braves already knew rookie Evan Gattis is an impressive power hitter. He’s also proving a quick learner.
Gattis took advantage of some last-second tips from teammate Justin Upton before hitting a go-ahead, two-run homer off Kenley Jansen in the eighth inning, and the Atlanta Braves rallied to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 on Saturday night.
Andrelton Simmons followed Gattis with another homer off Jansen after each listened to quick reminders from Upton.
