Contrary to Friday, Saturday's affair between the Reds (60-40) and Rockies (37-62) featured offense aplenty. The two teams combined for 22 hits and 16 runs, however, Cincy wound up on the smiling side of the scoreboard by a tally of 9-7 to stretch their season-high winning streak to nine.
Johnny Cueto certainly didn't have his best stuff on this night, but he got ample run support to help lift his record on the year to 13-5. Ryan Ludwick powered the offense with a pair of solo home runs (17) while Aroldis Chapman slammed the door in the ninth to record save no. 21.
Here's a complete recap of the good, the bad and the notables from the Coors Field battle:
The Good:
+ Cueto earned the victory despite a relatively rough outing (by his standards at least). The right-hander coughed up 10 hits and five runs (four earned) in six innings of work. Luckily, his offense had his back -- a rarity through his first 20 starts of 2012. His ERA now stands at 2.39.

Game 101: Reds 7, Rockies 2

July 30, 2012
The Reds’ remarkable play continued last night as they beat the Rockies 7-2.
Mat Latos pitched a helluva game, going 8.0 innings and allowing 2 runs on 4 hits and 3 walks. Not bad for the thin air of Colorado, and far better than he really needed to do with all the offense that came out in support of him. Sam LeCure pitched the ninth and gave up 2 hits and a walk, but no runs...

Think quick. What do Clayton Kershaw (LAD), Cliff Lee (PHI), Justin Verlander (DET), Felix Hernandez (SEA), Ryan Dempster (CHC), Clayton Richard (SD) and Johnny Cueto all have in common? Well, the obvious similarity between them is that each one is the ace of their respective team. What may not be so obvious...

Votto-less Red Win 9th in a Row
Earlier this month the Reds position in first place was threatened when slugger Joey Votto went on the DL for knee surgery. Last night's win at Colorado extended a winning streak to nine games before they go for a third consecutive series sweep Sunday. Over that time their runs/game have increased 25% as multiple players in the lineup have stepped up to pick up the slack from his absence.
