MIAMI -- Shin-Soo Choos first home run landed in the nightclub beyond the
left-field fence, catching by surprise revelers distracted by the Miami Heat on
TV.
Rod Carew Twins Jersey . His second homer
dropped into the right-field bullpen amid Marlins relievers, who saw ball
coming. Clearing the hard-to-reach fence both ways, Choo went 4 for 5 Wednesday
and helped the Cincinnati Reds extend their winning streak to a season-best five
games by beating Miami 4-0. Mike Leake and three relievers combined on an
11-hitter for the Reds. Choo hit solo homers in the fourth and sixth inning,
giving him nine this season. His ninth career multihomer game came in a spacious
stadium where sluggers tend to struggle. "This ballpark is big," Choo said.
"Some balls fly, some dont. Im not thinking about hitting homers. Im just
swinging hard." The two-homer effort was his second in eight days, but he came
into the game batting only .225 in May. "I havent been feeling great," he said,
"but tonight I hit the ball on the barrel." Leake (3-2) went 6 2-3 innings,
pitched around nine hits and lowered his ERA to 3.72. Reds ace Johnny Cueto is
expected to return next week after being sidelined since mid-April by a sore
arm, and manager Dusty Baker bristled when asked if Leakes performance saved his
spot in the rotation. "Whos talking about keeping his spot?" Baker said. "Hes
doing better than some of the guys on our staff. I dont understand why it was
coming down between him and somebody else anyway. Leake has pitched well. It
shouldnt have been thought of. Well worry about that when we get there." Leake
walked one and hit a batter. The Marlins had 14 baserunners but stranded 12 and
hit into two double plays. "I definitely was out of the stretch quite a bit,"
Leake said. "They hit a few balls hard, but a few of them werent hit too hard."
Miami managed three infield hits among their 10 singles but went 1 for 10 with
runners in scoring position. "Were just not getting it done," manager Mike
Redmond said. "I dont know how to dress it up any more than that. Im trying to
be patient, but at the end of the day, somebodys got to step up and get a hit
with a guy in scoring position." With the home team giving the crowd of 14,866
little to cheer about, the biggest roars came when highlights of the Heats
playoff victory over the Chicago Bulls two miles away were shown on the video
scoreboard. The Marlins were shut out for the seventh time, most in the majors.
Cincinnati climbed a season-high eight games above .500 and improved to 5-1
against Miami, which has lost four in a row. The Marlins fell to 0-10 this year
with the retractable roof open in their stadium. The ball carries better in
those conditions, and Choo twice sent it flying off Alex Sanabia (2-6). Choo
also led off the game with a single and scored on a double by NL RBI leader
Brandon Phillips. Joey Votto added two hits and an RBI for the Reds, who
improved to 20-6 when they score first. Choos four hits tied a career high, and
he raised his average to .322. He improved to 5 for 5 lifetime against Sanabia.
"Other than that hes batting like 1.000 off me, theres not much to say," Sanabia
said. The right-hander allowed four runs in six innings and has lost five
consecutive starts. The Reds led 4-0 in the seventh when Miami mounted a threat.
With runners at second and third, Sean Marshall came on and struck out rookie
Derek Dietrich with a 3-2 curve to end the inning. Miami put two runners aboard
again in the ninth. Aroldis Chapman then threw seven fastballs of at least 100
mph to Dietrich, who finally struck out looking on a changeup. "That guy can
bring it," Dietrich said. "He made a great pitch when he needed to." The Marlins
rank last in the majors in wins at home, where theyre 5-13. Notes: Cincinnati 3B
Todd Frazier, batting .229, was given the night off. ... Reds starters have
allowed one earned run in 22 1-3 innings over the past three games. ... ...
Miamis Chris Coghlan singled in the seventh to improve to 6 for 18 as a pinch
hitter. ... Cincinnati RHP Mat Latos will try to win his fifth consecutive
decision in the series finale Thursday against rookie Jose Fernandez.
