Pitchers: vs Wood vs Lincoln
The left-hander looks to extend his 16-inning scoreless streak Saturday night as Cincinnati tries to defeat the and avoid its first four-game skid on the road since May. While Wood will try to prevent a fourth straight Reds road loss — their longest skid since a season-worst 0-5 stretch May 11-23, the Pirates (70-87) will give the ball to (1-3, 4.85) on Saturday. Votto is one RBI shy of becoming the first Red with 100 in back-to-back seasons since Dave Parker in 1985-86. “It is key to finish up strong,” Wood told the Reds’ official website. “That’s the last thing people remember.” “It was just one of those days,” Lincoln told the Pirates’ official website. “I didn’t have my stuff. Everything I seemed to throw at them, they seemed to hit.” After winning their first division title in 15 years last season with a 91-71 record, the Reds (76-81) will finish nowhere near that mark in 2011. Cincinnati can end up no better than break-even following Friday’s 4-3 series-opening loss. Results and goal’s highlights, will be available soon..
