Mojo for Jo-Jo? Rookie leads Braves vs. Reds
Baseball Betting Lines
07/17/2007 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After being dealt a lopsided loss to the Cincinnati Reds on
Monday, the Atlanta Braves will turn to an unproven rookie in hopes of evening
the three-game series between the teams tonight at Turner Field.
Jo-Jo Reyes makes his second big league start for Atlanta this evening in
place of injured All-Star John Smoltz. The 22-year-old lefty's hopes to fare
better than a rough debut against San Diego on July 7, when he surrendered
five runs and walked three before being taken out after three innings. Two of
the five hits he allowed were home runs.
The Braves selected Reyes out of a California junior college in the second
round of the 2003 draft, and he was enjoying a terrific season in the minors
prior to his promotion. He went 8-1 with a 3.56 earned run average in 13
starts for Double-A Mississippi, then recorded a 2-0 record and a 1.57 ERA in
four outings for Triple-A Richmond.
Atlanta will be looking from a better performance out of the young hurler than
Kyle Davies provided in last night's series opener. The Braves starter allowed
the first five Cincinnati hitters to reach base and was yanked before
recording an out in the Reds' 10-3 win.
Davies (4-8) walked three and allowed a pair of singles before departing. Two
of those runners came home to score.
While Davies had a forgettable night, it was a memorable one for Reds
outfielder Ken Griffey, Jr. The All-Star slugger went 2-for-4 with four RBI
and socked a three-run homer in the second inning which moved him past Frank
Robinson and into sole possession of sixth place on baseball's all-time list.
It was the 587th homer of Griffey's storied career.
Reds starter Bobby Livingston (2-0) went 4-for-4 with an RBI at the plate and
also succeeded on the mound. The recently-recalled lefty allowed two runs on
eight hits over the first five innings to earn the win.
Javier Valentin added three hits and Edwin Encarnacion finished 2-for-5 with
an RBI for Cincinnati, which began the second half by losing three of four
games to the NL East-leading New York Mets. Second baseman Brandon Phillips
went 0-for-5, however, and had an 11-game hit streak snapped.
Atlanta had a four-game win streak snapped and remained 1 1/2 games behind the
Mets in the division standings. Andruw Jones knocked in all three runs for the
Braves on the evening.
The Braves will take their swings tonight against the struggling Bronson
Arroyo, who fell to 3-10 on the season after Thursday's loss to the Mets. The
2006 All-Star did not pitch badly in that game, as he yielded just three runs
on eight hits and worked seven innings.
Arroyo has now lost eight of his last nine decisions and is a disappointing
1-7 on the road this season, although he has pitched to a respectable 3.88 ERA
in his 10 away starts.
The former Red Sox fan favorite is 2-1 with a 5.45 ERA in seven career
appearances, including six starts, against Atlanta.
These teams had not faced one another yet this season until last night.
Atlanta won four of seven meetings with Cincinnati last year and is 11-7 in
the overall series since the start of the 2005 campaign.
The Reds lost three of four games in their only visit to Turner Field last
season.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
