<h3>Braves need strong effort from rookie Reyes</h3>

<div class="pre">Cincinnati (38-55) at Atlanta (50-43) 7:35 pm EDT</div>

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- When Kyle Davies failed to record an out inhis start on Monday, it immediately put the pressure on rookieJo-Jo Reyes.


The 22-year-old lefthander will make his second career start onTuesday when the Atlanta Braves host the Cincinnati Reds.

Reyes (0-0, 15.00 ERA) will be expected to accomplish somethinghe could not in his debut - make it deep into the game.

Reyes allowed five runs and five hits in three innings at SanDiego on July 7, but did not factor in the decision.

The Reds will look to keep the pressure on with their powerfullineup which leads the league in home runs. Ken Griffey Jr.blasted his 587th career homer on Monday, moving him into solepossession of sixth place on the all-time list.


Bronson Arroyo (3-10, 4.78) will be starting for Cincinnati. Theveteran righthander is settling down after a rough start to the2007 campaign. He has surrendered three runs or less in each ofhis past four starts, but has just one win to show for his effortover that span.


Despite his poor record, Arroyo has made it through at least sixinnings in 15 of his 19 starts this season.
