Louisville enters tonight with a six game winning streak and a 15-1 record in August.

[OnBaseMachine]

Curtis Partch throws a scoreless first inning for Dayton.

[OnBaseMachine]

Rosales and Barker each had two out singles in the first but the Bats failed to score.

Homer has allowed a run on two hits in the first inning.

[OnBaseMachine]

Homer escaped with only one run allowed in the first inning. With two outs in the 2nd Janish walked and Homer doubled. The Bats have runners on second and third with two outs.

[OnBaseMachine]

Michael Griffin doubles to score Janish and Homer and give Louisville a 2-1 lead. Stubbs grounded out to end the inning.

2-1 Louisville after 1 1/2.

[OnBaseMachine]

Devin Mesoraco homers in his first atbat to give Dayton a 1-0 lead after 2 1/2 innings. Mesoraco has homered in his last two plate appearances dating back to last night. He's now up to nine homeruns.

[OnBaseMachine]

Homer throws a 1-2-3 second inning with a strikeout.

[OnBaseMachine]

Adam Rosales belts a solo homerun to lead off the third inning and extend Louisville's lead to 3-1.

Rosales is 2-for-2 with his 11th homer.

[OnBaseMachine]

Rosales now has an eight game hitting streak and has seven straight multi hit games dating back to before he was called up to Cincinnati. Check out his last seven game including three innings of tonight's game:

3-for-5 two doubles
4-for-5 double, homerun
2-for-4 triple
2-for-4 walk
3-for-5 two doubles, homerun
2-for-5 double
2-for-2 homerun (tonight)

I think it's safe to say he is seeing the ball well right now.

[OnBaseMachine]

Kevin Barker followed Rosales with a solo homerun of his own to make it 4-1. Wilkin Castillo singled for his first hit in the Reds organization but was caught stealing.

4-1 Louisville after 2 1/2 innings.

[OnBaseMachine]

Homer: 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K

4-1 Louisville after 3.

Rosales now has an eight game hitting streak and has seven straight multi hit games dating back to before he was called up to Cincinnati. Check out his last seven game including three innings of tonight's game:

3-for-5 two doubles
4-for-5 double, homerun
2-for-4 triple
2-for-4 walk
3-for-5 two doubles, homerun
2-for-5 double
2-for-2 homerun (tonight)

I think it's safe to say he is seeing the ball well right now.

Rosales OPS over .800 now. Remarkable after his awful start that included a .461 OPS in April and .676 in May. 170+ plus awful plate appearances dug a huge hole.
