Reds 7, Indians 5

Edgar Renteria hit his first homer since his World Series MVP performance, helping the Cincinnati Reds break out of their offensive slump and beat the Cleveland Indians 7-5 on Sunday, their only win of the season against their intrastate rival. The Indians took five of six in the series, matching their best result. The Reds went 5-1 in 2008. Chris Heisey also homered off Mitch Talbot (2-5), who has struggled since returning from a sore elbow. The Reds piled up six runs and 10 hits in his four innings. Mike Leake (8-4) became the Reds' first eight-game winner, matching his career high with eight strikeouts in six innings.
