Cincinnati Reds Notes, Quotes 2008-09-22
--RHP Aaron Harang faces the Marlins on Monday in a makeup game from a May 15 rainout and seeks his seventh consecutive quality start. He is only 2-3 with a 1.93 ERA over those six starts, including a complete-game victory in his last start.

--3B Edwin Encarnacion (sore left wrist) missed his fifth consecutive game, but he took batting practice and plans to play Monday against the Marlins. "I like that, I like players who want to play and aren't ready to shut it down at the end of the season," manager Dusty Baker said.

--RF Jay Bruce, hit by a pitch on the right hand Saturday, was not in Sunday's lineup, but he is expected to play Monday against the Marlins.

--RHP David Weathers is one appearance shy of his sixth season with 70 or more appearances.

--INF Jeff Keppinger made 96 starts at shortstop, seven starts at third base and two at first base this year before starting his first game of the year at second base Saturday. He was back on shortstop Sunday.

BY THE NUMBERS: 7 -- One-run games the Reds played in a row in mid-September. They went 5-2 and are 26-19 this season in one-run games.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "The only way to learn how to play and win one-run games is to play in them and when you learn that, you become a contender, because contenders always are top-heavy with one-run wins." -- Manager Dusty Baker.
