Game 7: Tension is high in Cincinnati as the game starts. Braves have the option of starting
Gavin Floyd on 3 days rest or Jonathan Sanchez. Maybe the Braves can be accused of being too
cute but they decide to go with Sanch rather than the ace who is ready to go. With a Roberts
double and a Werth HR to start off the game - Braves immediate regret their decision. A Votto
walk has the bullpen scurrying. But a DP and a Cody Ross K, gets Sanchez off the hook with
minimal damage. Reds start their own version of LUIS ball as Angel Pagan singles, steals second,
advances to third on a throwning error and scores on a Gallardo SF in the 2nd. Things remain
quiet until the 7th as a Hermida single and walks to Votto and Jones load the bases, a PH single
by Johnson scores Hermida but Ryan Garko throws Votto out at the plate to keep the Reds within
striking distance. Well except for the fact the the Reds bullpen is untouchable. Braves magic
dries up as the only manage 5 hits in the finale, which they drop 4-0.
