POSITIVES
–Bronson Arroyo pitched eight strong innings, giving up one run on six hits. He also drove in Cincinnati’s only run with a fifth inning single. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do it all alone.
–Jonathan Broxton pitched a perfect ninth.
NEGATIVES
–Sam LeCure — who has been so effective lately — gave away the game in the tenth.
–Reds only had four hits.
