The splendid Greinke win his eighth straight decision for Dodgers

Zack Greinke is one http://www.officialdolphinsnflstore.com/reshad-jones-jersey_c-412.html of only three pitchers in major league history to win a Cy Young Award, a Silver Slugger and a Gold Glove. On Sunday, he hit a go-ahead home run to win his eighth straight decision, lowering his major league-leading ERA to 1.58 with seven sharp innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Cincinnati Reds 2-1. According to teammate Andre Ethier, the right-hander does have one minor flaw. ''We always go back and forth on what the best stocks to pick are, and he's been in a little slump lately on that. But on the field Danny Trevathan Limited Jersey, I don't think there's anything he can't do,'' Ethier said. ''He likes to get on me on days where he outhits me, and I'll definitely hear about this until his next start.'' Greinke (13-2) allowed a run on six hits, struck out eight and walked one. The right-hander is 8-0 with a 1.16 ERA over his last 11 starts. ''With his stuff, if he's able to execute a pitch and put it where he wants, it's going to be a long day for the other side,'' Ethier said. ''And he's done that all year, for the most part.'' Greinke is trying to become the first pitcher in franchise history to record five consecutive months with an ERA under 2.00 during the same season. The others with four straight are Sandy Koufax (1966), Clayton Kershaw (2014) and Larry Cheney (1916). The Dodgers are 113-54 in 167 combined starts by Greinke and Kershaw during their three seasons as teammates. The rest of the time, the club has gone 140-135. Greinke is 45-14 with a 2.34 ERA in 84 starts since signing with the Dodgers as a free agent in December 2012. DeSclafani matched zeros with Greinke through http://www.jetsshopnfl.com/dawan-landry-jersey_c-411.html four innings before the Reds scratched out a run on Billy Hamilton's sacrifice fly. Marlon Byrd led off the fifth with a single, and Tucker Barnhart followed with a sinking line drive to right field that got past a diving Yasiel Puig for a double. But the NL West-leading Dodgers responded in the bottom half with their fourth set of back-to-back homers this season. Greinke's drive to left-center landed in almost the exact same spot that Pederson's 23rd did one pitch earlier. ''I gave it everything I had,'' DeSclafani said. ''I tried mixing it up, but Pederson and Greinke put two good swings on the ball and it ended up costing us the game. So it's on me, but I knew I had to be pretty good today, throwing against Greinke.'' On Aug. 6, Greinke took David Buchanan deep in a 10-8 victory at Philadelphia - the same night that he surrendered a season-high six runs. Sunday's homer was the sixth of Greinke's 12-year career, the first seven seasons of which were spent in the AL with Kansas City. The Dodgers lead the NL with 146 home runs, 12 more than they had all of last season with 44 games still remaining. The Dodgers retained their 2-1/2 game lead over the second-place San Francisco Giants in the National League West. Greinke (13-2) amassed eight strikeouts and yielded just one walk in his seven innings, while allowing one run on six hits in extending his personal winning streak to eight games. "You've got to try to take advantage of opportunities," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "When Greinke's throwing the ball well, you know there's going to be limited opportunities." Despite performing http://www.texansonlineofficialstore.com/Alfred-Blue-Jersey in heat that reached 98 degrees F (36.67 Celsius) when he threw the first pitch, Greinke experienced no difficulty combining pitching with hitting. "If you're feeling good and have enough energy to spare, then you might focus on your hitting," said Greinke. "If it's one of those games where you're just grinding the whole time, you try to save your energy for pitching."
