RHP Arroyo looks for first-ever win vs. Colorado

May 6, 2007 - 1:56 PM Colorado (13-17) at Cincinatti (13-17) 3:15 pm EDT

CINCINNATI (Ticker) -- Bronson Arroyo will look to be the stopper for the Cincinatti Reds on Sunday.

Arroyo (1-2, 2.59 ERA) takes the mound looking to stop a season-high four-game skid and help Cincinatti avoid being swept by Colorado.

The Reds' bullpen, which has a National League worst 4.44 ERA, has let them down in the last two games. Victor Santos allowed three runs in the seventh inning as Cincinatti lost 9-7 on Saturday, and David Weathers allowed a game-winning single in the 11th to Troy Tulowitzki on Friday.

Something has to give on Sunday. Arroyo owns a 6-2 record with a 2.73 ERA in 19 starts at Great American Ball Park, but is 0-2 with a 4.29 ERA in five career starts vs. the Rockies.

Arroyo picked up his first win of the year allowing one run and three hits in seven innings as the Reds beat the Astros 11-2 on Tuesday.

Colorado will send Josh Fogg (1-2, 5.08) to the mound as they gun for their third straight win.

Josh Hamilton's performance on Saturday was overshadowed by the bullpen woes. Hamilton went 4-for-5 and was a homer short of his first-career cycle.
