Final
Gonzalez, Padres look to build off extra-inning win
Aug 11, 2007 - 1:47 PM San Diego (62-53) at Cincinnati (49-66) 3:55 pm EDTCINCINNATI (Ticker) -- Adrian Gonzalez will look to extend his mild six-game hitting streak when the San Diego Padres continue a weekend series with the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday.
Gonzalez went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 12-7 victory that lasted 11 innings. The 25-year-old first baseman is 9-for-22 (.409) with two home runs over his last six games.
It was just the second win in the last five games for the Padres, who will turn to Justin Germano (6-6, 4.30 ERA) in the middle contest.
Germano, who is winless in his last four starts, is coming off an outing where he allowed two runs and two hits in 5 2/3 innings. However, he failed to figure in Sunday's 5-4 win over the San Francisco Giants.
The righthander, who was a member of the Reds last season, will be facing his former team for the first time.
Cincinnati will turn to Bobby Livingston (2-2, 4.46). The lefthander surrendered two runs and six hits with four strikeouts in a 9-8 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates last Saturday.
The Reds have lost two straight games following a four-game winning streak.
