CINCINNATI The Reds led the Pirates 2-1 in the seventh inning Monday night, but Pittsburgh was threatening to even the score with a runner on second and one out.

Reds need not give up on Mike Leake just yet
The biggest question looming over Reds camp this spring was finally answered on Friday. Cuban southpaw Aroldis Chapman will officially begin the season as the team's closer, assuming the same role that he excelled at in 2012.

And that guy is right-hander Mike Leake.
This is because Chapman's new...
