Reds' first complete game of '08










Bronson Arroyo pitched Cincinnati's first complete game of the season and Ryan Hanigan hit a solo homer in the Reds' 2-1 win over the Astros Tuesday night.


Hanigan broke the tie in the eighth with a one-out homer off Geoff Geary that bounced off the facade in left center field, just above the yellow line.


Arroyo, now 12-10 with the win, allowed five hits and struck out three for his first complete game since May 16, 2007. Arroyo snapped a four game losing streak to Houston when Lance berkman flied out to center for the last out.


The Reds were the only team in the Majors without a complete game. Arroyo now has six complete games in his career.


The Reds and Astros meet in game two Wednesday night. Gametime is 8:05pm. Coverage begins at 6:10pm with Sportstalk. Then the Dodge Prime Time Edition of the Inside Pitch after 7-pm on 700 WLW.
