<h3>CINCINNATI 4, ARIZONA 3 (11 INNINGS)</h3>CINCINNATI (Ticker) -- David Weathers cost Aaron Harang a win,but Scott Hatteberg came through to give the Cincinnati Reds avictory.

Weathers blew a save in the ninth but Hatteberg singled in the11th inning on Sunday to lift the Reds to a 4-3 victory over theArizona Diamondbacks.

The Red won their fourth straight game and completed their firstsweep of the season.

Hatteberg hit a home run in the first inning to give the Reds a1-0 lead. The lead was 3-0 after six and Harang allowed onlyone run in eight innings before Weathers came on in the ninthand gave up two runs after retiring the first two batters of theframe.

Hatteberg bails out Reds in win over Diamondbacks

<h3>CINCINNATI 4, ARIZONA 3 (11 INNINGS)</h3>CINCINNATI (Ticker) -- David Weathers cost Aaron Harang a win,but Scott Hatteberg came through to give the Cincinnati Reds avictory.

Weathers blew a save in the ninth but Hatteberg singled in the11th inning on Sunday to lift the Reds to a 4-3 victory over theArizona Diamondbacks.

The Red won their fourth straight game and completed their firstsweep of the season.

"David Weathers has been outstanding," Reds interim manager PeteMackanin said. "It happened so quick. Two quick outs, then ajam shot and a line drive, you'd never blame him. I don't carewhy or how we won but Scott Hatteberg is my new favoriteplayer."

Hatteberg hit a home run in the first inning to give the Reds a1-0 lead. The lead was 3-0 after six and Harang allowed onlyone run in eight innings before Weathers came on in the ninthand gave up two runs after retiring the first two batters of theframe.

Edwin Encarnacion started the 11th with a walk and stole secondwith one out. David Ross, who homered in the second, drew awalk and Norris Hopper hustled to avoid being doubled up, movingEncarnacion to third and bringing up Hatteberg.

Hatteberg ended the game by picking up his fourth hit of theday, an opposite-field single down the line in left.

"I watched the first few batters and noticed he was running hisfastball outside. I thought if he does it, I'm going to jump onit," Hatteberg said. "Sure enough, I was able to slice it awayfrom the leftfielder."

Kirk Saarloos (1-4) retired two batters to pick up the win forCincinnati, which is 5-1 under interim manager Pete Mackanin.

"We're starting to play like the team I thought we wer in springtraining," Hatteberg said. "Pete's a different manager with adifferent style. I hate blaming managers. I think it's anexcuse and I hate excuses. I think managers get too much of theblame. I also think they get too much of the credit. We justneed to play like we have this past week."

"Sometimes change is made for change sake," Mackanin said."It's a wake-up call, if you have any pride in yourself."

Jose Valverde (0-3) allowed a run a hit and two walks in the11th to take the loss.

Arizona, which has lost five straight and eight of its lastnine, tied the game 3-3 in the ninth on an RBI double by MiguelMontero and a run-scoring single by Orlando Hudson.

Yusmeiro Petit struck out a career-high eight batters in hisfive innings, allowing three runs on five hits. He was thevictim of the lack of run support that has plagued Arizonaduring its current streak.

"It seems like we always battle back a little too late," Arizonamanager Bob Melvin said. "Our at bats early in the game were notgood. It's like Ground Hog Day. We don't have good at batsand don't score early. We always come back late and lose in theend."

Harang was masterful in eight innings, allowing just ChrisYoung's 13th home run among the six hits he dispersed.

"We're playing loose now and everybody is contributing," Harangsaid. "Hopefully we can get on a roll. That's going to be thebig thing for us," Harang said.
