Garcia beats Reds again as Cardinals end skid
Baseball Betting Lines
09/03/2010 -
St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jaime Garcia kept an unbeaten streak against
Cincinnati intact with 6 2/3 effective innings and Jon Jay set the tone with a
first-inning triple and run scored, as St. Louis slowed the Reds' roll with a
3-2 win at Busch Stadium to open a crucial three-game series.
Garcia (13-6) won his fourth start in as many tries versus the Reds this
season by limiting surging Cincinnati to six hits and two runs while striking
out six.
Ryan Franklin picked up his 23rd save with a spotless ninth to give the
Cardinals their fifth straight win against the Reds. Skip Schumaker collected
two hits and an RBI in the much-needed win that snapped St. Louis' season-high
five-game skid.
The last time these two teams met the Cardinals earned a three-game sweep
that gave them sole possession of first place in the National League Central.
Since then Cincinnati had won 14 of 18 while the Cards went 5-13. Friday's
result cut the Reds' lead in the division to seven games.
Bronson Arroyo (14-9) suffered the loss for giving up three runs and six hits
in six innings. Paul Janish provided a solo home run in the loss that stunted
the Reds' four-game win streak.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
