Bailey returns to big leagues against Giants

Sep 20, 2007 - 1:36 PM Cincinnati (69-83) at San Francisco (67-84) 10:15 pm EDT

SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) - Rookie Homer Bailey hopes his second stint in the major leagues goes better than his first.

Bailey will get the start Thursday as the Cincinnati Reds kick off a four-game series with San Francisco Giants.

The 21-year-old Bailey (2-2, 6.99 ERA) will make his first big-league start since July 7. The righthander from La Grange, Texas was called up in June and made six appearances before getting sent back down to Class AAA Louisville of the International League. Bailey went 6-3 with a 3.07 ERA over 12 starts in Louisville.

He will be opposed by righthander Matt Cain (7-15, 3.71), who is winless in his last three starts after winning three straight.

The Giants, who have lost seven of their last nine games, were without Barry Bonds in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The home run king missed his third straight game with a sprained big toe on his right foot.
