5 - 21 - 10 Cincinnati Reds 7 at Cleveland Indians 4 Cleveland (15 - 25), Cincinnati (24 - 18)
The 2010 Ohio Lottery Ohio Cup began at Progressive Field and the two major league teams from the Buckeye state played a back - and - forth affair that was finally salvaged by the surprise team of the National League.
Shin - Soo Choo started what would be a great night for him by launching a solo home run to right field in the first inning, and the Indians had their only lead of the ballgame.
Laynce Nix quickly tied up the game in the third on his solo shot, also hit to right, and the the Reds were just getting their long ball swings going. In the fourth, Cincy scored three times, with two of the tallies coming on a two - out, two - run bomb off the bat of Johnny Gomes that went over halfway up the bleachers in left.
The Tribe refused to go down without out a fight, though, as in the fifth, they tied the contest back up. Trevor Crowe doubled in a run and Choo blasted another home run, this a two - run shot with two men out.
Jake Westbrook was pulled going into the sixth, and Aaron Laffey was summoned in hopes that he would keep the game tied. However, the Redlegs regained the lead off of Laffey by scoring twice on an Orlando Cabrera RBI single and a RBI doulble by Nix. Cincinnati added a run in the ninth when Brandon Phillips went deep, and the Reds coasted to the win.
