Valentin hits walk-off single as Reds halt three-game skid

<h3>CINCINNATI 2, MILWAUKEE 1 (12 INNINGS)</h3>CINCINNATI (Ticker) -- Javier Valentin hit a walk-off pinch-hitsingle in the 12th inning to help the Cincinnati Reds snap athree-game skid in a 2-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers onMonday.


Valentin drove a ball into right field to score pinch runnerNorris Hopper after the beleagured Cincinnati bullpen camethrough with a solid performance.


Valentin hit the first pitch from reliever Grant Balfour as theReds took the opener of the three-game series.


Jeff Conine led off the inning by drawing a walk off Balfour(0-2) and Pedro Lopez also walked. David Ross then sacrificedthe runners setting the stage for Valentin, who hit the firstpitch he saw into right, scoring Hopper with the winning run.

Jared Burton (1-1) picked up the win by gettting the final twoouts of the 12th as the Cincinnati bullpen, which entered thegame with a National-League worst 5.11 ERA performed admirably.

The bullpen worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the 11th to keepthe game tied at 1-1. Closer David Weathers jammed JohnnyEstrada and got a huge 3-2-3 double play, but hit Geoff Jenkinsto re-load the bases. Weathers then got Kevin Mench to escapeunscathed.


Cincinnati starter Aaron Harang, who just came off thebereavement list, became just the second pitcher in the majorsto throw more than nine innings, joining Toronto Blue Jays aceRoy Halladay, who accomplished the feat when he beat Detroit onApril 13 by hurling a 10-inning complete game.


Harang, who has won nine of his last 12 starts, allowed just onerun and seven hits with a a season-high tying 10 strikeoutswithout a walk. He became the first Cincinnati pitcher to throw10 innings since Rick Mahler in 1989.


The reigning National League strikeout king left to an ovationin the 10th after striking out Corey Hart with runners on firstand second.


One of Harang's only mistakes was a 2-0 pitch that rookie RyanBraun deposited over the left field wall in the fourth to tiethe game at 1-1. For Braun, it was the second homer in threedays and tied him with Ryan Howard for the most in July ateight.


However, after the homer Harang was nearly unhittable, retiring16 straight before allowing a pair of hits in the ninth.

Harang threw a season-high tying 121 pitches - 87 for strikes -but the Reds failed to muster much support against ChrisCapuano, who was nearly as impressive.


Capuano was 0-6 with a 9.58 ERA in his last 10 starts andMilwaukee had lost each of those starts, but in this one heresembled the pitcher that started the season 5-0 with a 2.31ERA.


The 28-year-old lefthander allowed one run and seven hits ineight innings with seven strikeouts. Capuano fell behind 1-0when Ross hit a solo homer to left for his 15th homer of theseason in the third.


Prince Fielder had a pair of hits for Milwaukee, which has lostthree of its last four games.
