CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Jay Bruce hadnt driven in a run in more than a month. He finally got a notable RBI and kept Cincinnatis winning streak going. Bruce drove in a pair of runs and Devin Mesoraco hit a two-run homer Tuesday night, leading the Reds to a season-high fourth straight win, an 8-3 victory over the sloppy San Francisco Giants. Mesoraco hit his ninth homer off Tim Lincecum (4-5), who has beaten the Reds during the playoffs but never during the regular season. Bruce, who spent time on the disabled list following surgery for torn knee cartilage, knocked in his first run since April 25. The Reds biggest shortcoming has been their inability to drive in runners. With Bruce back, theyve got a chance to fix the problem. "It was nice seeing him do what he does," manager Bryan Price said. "It was really good to see him get a couple of hits." Homer Bailey (6-3) went six innings in his first game against the Giants since his no-hitter against them last July 2 at Great American Ball Park. The right-hander gave up three runs and five hits, including Hunter Pences homer, double and single. "We scored early," Bailey said. "They hit some balls and got some men on base, but I was able to limit the damage and I found a groove." The Giants have the majors best record at 37-21, but were undone by a season-high four errors. Lincecum had a throwing error, and catcher Hector Sanchez threw two balls into centre field on steal attempts. Part of it was Billy Hamiltons speed. The Reds leadoff hitter doubled and scored on Lincecums throwing error in the first inning. He also singled, stole a base and scored a run in the fifth. Lincecum acknowledged that he got a little flustered with him on base. "Its fun to be fast," Hamilton said. "Thats what speed does." The Reds have dominated the Giants during the regular season in recent years, winning nine of 11 since 2012. San Francisco got the best of Cincinnati when it mattered most, taking three of five in the 2012 division series and going on to win the World Series. Cincinnati won this one with a pair of big innings. The Reds scored four times in both the first and fifth innings, matching the most runs that the Giants have allowed in an inning this season. When Bailey threw his second no-hitter against the Giants last July, the opposing pitcher was Lincecum, who threw his own no-hitter 11 days later at San Diego. Lincecum had a rough time in the rematch, matching his career high by giving up eight runs in only 4 1-3 innings. Bruce doubled home a run in the first inning for his 500th career RBI, and Mesoraco homered for a 4-0 lead. Brandon Phillips doubled home two more runs in the fifth, and Bruce had an RBI single as the Reds pulled ahead 8-3. Bruce missed two weeks following knee surgery and was only 4 for 30 in his previous eight games back. Lincecum is 0-4 with a 9.79 ERA in six career starts against the Reds, the only NL team he hasnt beaten during the regular season. He won Game 4 in Cincinnati during the 2012 division series. It was the third time in his career that Lincecum gave up eight runs in a start. The previous time also was against Cincinnati last July 22. NOTES: Ryan Vogelsong (3-2) starts the second game against LHP Tony Cingrani (2-5), who is 0-3 with a 5.29 ERA in three starts since returning from the disabled list. ... The Giants have lost 11 of their last 12 regular-season games at Great American. ... Pablo Sandoval went 0 for 3 with a sacrifice fly, ending his 12-game hitting streak. ... Bruce is the fifth-youngest Reds player to have 500 RBIs, trailing Johnny Bench, Frank Robinson, Vada Pinson and Adam Dunn. ... Joey Votto was cleared to hit and take infield practice with the team. If that goes well, hell start a minor league rehab assignment. Votto has been on the DL since May 21 with a strained muscle above his left knee. Shea Theodore Golden Knights Jersey . "First, I would like to offer my deepest and sincerest apologies for any harm I have inflicted on University of Missouri defensive lineman, Michael Sam," the statement read. Tomas Hyka Jersey . According to a report from CSN Bay Area, the 49ers are bracing for 6-8 game suspension for their outside linebacker. http://www.goldenknightsproshop.com/auth...knights-jersey/. The bout served as the headlining matchup of Saturdays "UFC Fight Night: Brown vs. Silva" event, which took place at U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati. It was Silva who looked well on his way to victory in the early going, delivering a pair of crushing kicks to the body that sent Brown crashing to the floor, doubled over in pain. Alex Tuch Golden Knights Jersey . The Ravens werent about to let it happen again. Carleton picked up its fourth straight national mens basketball title, and 10th in the last 12 years, with a 79-67 victory over its crosstown rival on Sunday. Oscar Lindberg Jersey . And while taking highly-touted Simon Fraser offensive lineman Matthias Goossen second overall on Tuesday night will definitely help in an area of need for the club, it was a swap of draft picks that may prove to be his most shrewd move. "When Jesse Briggs started to fall a little bit, you could just see Kyle perk up in his chair.1. KEVIN DURANT (Thunder): Huge news in the Western Conference. Needless to say were looking at 6-10 weeks here depending on who you talk to and how quickly they want to get him back. They dealt really well with the loss of Russell Westbrook last season and Im sure between him, Serge Ibaka and Reggie Jackson theyll find a way to keep the thing afloat in the early going. If youre ever going to endure a rough patch, better it come early rather than on the heels of the playoffs starting in April. 2. BRADLEY BEAL (Wizards): Out as well with a wrist injury. I guess that quiets the talk of whos got the top Eastern Conference backcourt for at least now. In addition, Kris Humphries is out for a stretch - I liked his addition to this squad. He provides great energy and hustle. Huge opportunity for both Otto Porter and Glen Rice to show what theyve got as young players in extended time. If either or both show that theyre capable, then this will be looked upon as a good long term development for their franchise adding to the depth and scoring punch of their club. Beal is a very nice shooter and has improved his ball skills as well recently yet this could end up giving them greater flexibility if these two young guys take advantage of whats in front of them. 3. JASON KAPONO (Warriors): Nice to see that hes trying to make an NBA comeback on the West Coast. Never have enough 3-point shooting and when left open, he can make them. I always felt that he played it safe at times and didnt have enough of an aggressive approach when needed. Hes a sound fundamental player and more than capable shot maker. This teams style could fit his game nicely.dddddddddddd The challenge is, can he fit them? Good luck to him. A solid guy. 4. MARCUS SMART (Celtics): Love his energy and passion that he plays with. His long range perimeter shooting is suspect and his play making will be a work in progress but hes got a tough mindset and he is a terrific on the ball defender. Exceptional later quickness and focus. Brad Stevens is a patient coach and they know that its all about the long term view right now so hell have his growing pains. With the pending free agency of Rajon Rondo, they need to throw him out there each night and experience the challenges of NBA life to see what theyve got. 5. BROOK LOPEZ (Nets): If this guy stays healthy his team will have the ability to challenge both the Knicks and Raptors for the Atlantic Division title, but he must stay healthy and give hem 70-plus games to be in that consideration. With the losses of Shaun Livingston, Andray Blatche, Paul Pierce and Marcus Thornton, the Nets dont have as much natural scoring as they did a year ago. Jarrett Jack was a good pickup and is a sound combo guard who knows how to make the high percentage plays. Lionel Hollins was a smart hire as head coach and I fully expect this team to play really hard and compete consistently. It all hedges though on Lopezs health. If hes right theyre good. Hes an outstanding scorer and good all-around offensive player. Need to see greater toughness and commitment to rebounding more often yet hes a valuable piece that has to be kept upright for them to contend for the Atlantic title.
