Nice season, Leake. Hit the showers. Edgar Renteria will take care of hitting the baseballs. Reds win, 2-1.
Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game Mike Leake. The man who'd give you the shirt off that rack threw eight innings, allowing only six hits and one run. What innings limit? He also scored the winning run. Honorable mentions go to Brandon Phillips (another home run!) and Edgar Renteria...
