Break up the Reds! Bronson Arroyo threw the 3rd complete game victory for the team in a week yesterday, as the Reds took over first place with their victory over the Cardinals. All of a sudden, their pitching has become very solid, as Arroyo struck out 4 and only allowed 2 earned runs yesterday. I am not sure that the Reds can stay in first place with the level of talent of some of the other teams in the division, but if their pitching continues like this it is a distinct possibility.
