Of all people, it was Justin Lehr who stepped up and put a stop to the Reds’ eight-game skid. Lehr dazzled the Cubs with his 89 mph fastball rendering them only four hits. He really does have a pretty nice curveball.
Lehr, in only his second major league start, pitched a complete game shutout against the stupid Cubs. This automatically places him in my “hero” category.
The savior of the Reds, Scott Rolen, finally got a chance to hit and did so, belting a two-run homer.
Perhaps what’s more amazing is the fact that Willy Taveras got a hit and actually stole two bases ...
