    A folded piece of paper fell out of Scott Rolen's pocket as he pulled on his pants after delivering one of his most important hits of the season.

    "It's a paycheck," Rolen said, scooping up the paper. "They handed me this when I came in. What a good day!"

    For the Reds, that was an understatement.

    Rolen's tiebreaking bases-loaded single in the eighth inning set up a 4-2 victory and three-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night, leaving Cincinnati alone in first place in the NL Central.
