Reds stun Yankees at home
Cincinnati thwarted the former leaders 10-2 last night at the Great American Ball Park in a game which started with four homeruns. New York thus missed the opportunity to take the leading position as they are still .5 gamesback behind Boston.
Heisey fired the first homerun of the night in the first inning, while Yankees’ first reply came in the second term through Swisher who evened the situation with a 362 footer. The hosts broke back immediately thanks to a 398-foot homerun hit by Gomes, something which allowed his side to preserve a 2-1 minimal advantage until the fifth term when things started to get much easier for the home side. Heisey thundered a second homer in the fifth round, his 381 footer allowing Janish to put the Reds three points ahead.
The sixth term went scoreless for the two sides, whole the seventh one saw the same Cincinnati score three points in a row through Cairo, Rolen and the same Heisey. New York could only cut the deficit to five points in the eighth inning when Granderson cored the last consolation point for the away side. Stubbs made it 8-2 after Rolen singled to right, while the last words belonged to Heisey, who fired a late 381-foot homerun, and Rolen who gave Cincinnati an easy win.
Said one of the greatest shaped players on the field, Heisey: “When you get a hit in your first at-bat, it takes the pressure off the rest of your day. It relaxes you. Nobody likes to go 0-for-4 or 0-for-5. One home run’s a good day, let alone three,” while Gordon’s face could only show disappointment. “I’m definitely a little disappointed in the outcome. I made three mistakes and paid for all three of them,” he said.
Posada, too, looked a bit disappointed for not being able to hit a homerun. “They happen for me. I don’t care when they do happen. I’m happy they are, but I’m not going out trying to hit a home run,” he, who last hit a homer two months ago, said. Cincinnati are third in the Central Conference with a .513 record which includes 39 wins and 37 defeats, while the Yanks remain second in the East with a .589 percentage which incorporates 43 wins and 30 losses.
