CIVIL RIGHTS GAME CLASSIC
The Civil Rights Game rose to the occasion, as a series of big plays late, including Drew Stubbs' two-run triple in the sixth, culminated with a perfect relay by the Reds to nail the tying run at the plate and deny the Cardinals' comeback bid. Mike Leake took the victory, moving to 4-0 in seven starts to begin his career. The Reds now find themselves just a half game out of a highly competitive first place position in the National League Central, facing the Cardinals on Sunday with a chance to overtake #1. After pleasing a loud, sold-out crowd with a unforgettable win Saturday night in Cincinnati, the Reds will look to do it again and complete a weekend to remember.
