PITTSBURGH -- Mat Latos spent Sunday morning trying to quell a queasy stomach. All the Cincinnati right-hander really needed was a little bit of defensive help and an overpowering fastball. Feeling lightheaded and chugging Gatorade, Latos fought off the bug and a shaky first inning to strike out a career-high 11 and lead the Reds to a 5-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. "Sometimes when guys dont feel quite right, a lot of times they throw their best games," Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said. "You settle down, youre concentrating, you try not to overthrow because you dont have the strength to do so." Baker joked that he kept calling Latos "Michael Jordan" in the dugout between innings and Latos kept reassuring his manager he was OK. Latos (2-2) certainly appeared to be fine while giving up two hits over six innings. So did the three relievers who upped Cincinnatis strikeout total to 17, tying a club record for a nine-inning game. The biggest of the 17 whiffs came in the first as Latos tightroped out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam. Third baseman Todd Frazier got the first out with a spectacular diving grab on a liner by Casey McGehee, a smash hit so hard Latos started looking in left field for the ball only to see Frazier lift up his glove. "Luckily I got it in the glove," Frazier said. "It almost snuck out at the end. I was holding it up there, trying to let him know. I knew Matty would do his thing. Whatever you can do to help is great, and he can help himself." Latos then caught Nate McLouth looking with a 94 mph fastball to escape. The Pirates didnt get a runner to third during Latos final five innings. "We had a chance to take the game in a different direction in the first inning and we did not," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. Drew Stubbs had three hits, including a two-run homer, and scored three times for the Reds. Frazier added his first home run of the season as Cincinnati continued its strong play in series finales. The Reds are 8-1 on getaway days, including 5-0 on Sundays. Charlie Morton (1-3) struggled to keep his sinker down and gave up five runs, four earned, on seven hits in six innings. He struck out five and walked two. It was a far cry from the dominance Morton showed against the Reds last year, when he shut them out twice. Hes still finding his way after off-season hip surgery and admitted he appears to have lost a feel for his signature pitch. "Im not saying Im in overhaul, but Ive got to tweak something to get my bread and butter back," Morton said. "That sinker is what I am." Latos is more of a fireballer, though hes struggled this spring after being acquired in an off-season trade with San Diego. The 24-year-old dropped his first two decisions before bouncing back to pitch seven shutout innings against San Francisco on April 24, only to slip against the light-hitting Astros last week, giving up a career-worst 10 hits. Command has been an issue, and so has the lack of a strikeout pitch for one of baseballs top young arms. Latos came in with 18 strikeouts in 28 2-3 innings. It took one game to get his groove back. Latos struck out four straight at one point, and his only mistakes over his final five innings were a pair of harmless singles. "He told me (after the game) that he wasnt feeling good," Frazier said. "It didnt look like it on the mound. Good for him. Hopefully he feels like that every time he pitches." Pittsburgh rode stellar pitching and defence to scratch out a taut 3-2 victory on Saturday but had issues in both departments less than 24 hours later. The Pirates committed a pair of errors -- including a botched pickoff attempt by Morton that led to the games first run -- and left nine runners on base. Morton couldnt get his trademark sinker to sink and the Reds took full advantage. Frazier drilled a shot into the bleachers in the second for his first home run since Sept. 2, and Stubbs pushed Cincinnatis lead to 4-0 in the fourth when his fly ball sailed just over the wall in right-centre. Hurdle asked for a review but the call was upheld. Staked to a sizable lead, Latos worked quickly. Relying heavily on a fastball that consistently clocked in the mid-90s, he rolled along and capped his day by getting Clint Barmes to miss badly at a slider to end the sixth. NOTES: Pittsburgh All-Star centre fielder Andrew McCutchen was given the day off. McCutchen is battling the flu and Hurdle said: "Hes not in a good place physically." ... Latos previous career best was 10 strikeouts, which he did three times. ... The Reds begin a three-game series in Milwaukee on Monday. Bronson Arroyo (1-1, 3.03 ERA) starts against Yovani Gallardo (1-3, 5.79). Pittsburgh is off Monday and continues a nine-game homestand Tuesday against Washington. A.J. Burnett (1-2, 8.04 ERA) starts for the Pirates against Edwin Jackson (1-1, 3.69). ... Cincinnati infielder Miguel Cairo went 0 for 4 in a rehab appearance with Class-A Dayton on Saturday. His return from a strained left hamstring is still uncertain. Erik Walden Womens Jersey . Hell be hard-pressed to match an unbeaten streak like this, though.

Both had to wait out a rain interruption lasting nearly five hours before taking comprehensive third-round victories to join Carling Bassett-Seguso (1983, 1986), Patricia Hy-Boulais (1996-97) and Daniel Nestor (1999) as Canadians who made it into the second week of a major. Bouchard, semifinalist in Melbourne and Paris already this season, posted a 6-3, 6-4 defeat of German Andrea Petkovic. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., joined Bouchard in Wimbledons second week by beating Polands Lukasz Kubot in the third round 7-6 (2), 7-6(4), 6-2. He fired over 30 aces and 50 winners, breaking twice with just six unforced errors on the way to victory. "I was able to be dominant on my serve, I only lost nine points on it," said Raonic. "This definitely makes my life a lot easier and puts pressure on him. "But at the same time, I didnt really have my opportunities. I played a few good points in tiebreaks and he was able to of hold on." Raonic has won three straight Wimbledon grass matches for the first time, after doing the same at Halle, Germany in 2011 and 2012. "Im starting from very low comfort level on grass but now Im feeling pretty comfortable," said Raonic. "Ive made pretty significant progress on this surface this year." The 13th-seeded Bouchard, from Weestmount, Que.dddddddddddd, started her match in the early afternoon but found herself in the locker-room for nearly five hours after 15 minutes of play as rain wrecked the schedule. But the weather cleared up in the early evening with Bouchard and Petkovic returning to the court with the Canadian leading 2-1. Bouchard picked up where she left off, putting the pressure on a player who had defeated her in three previous meetings including the Rogers Cup in Toronto three years ago. She took victory on her third match point when Petkovic hit the net with a return. Bouchard produced 30 winners and 14 unforced errors, breaking five time in the match lasting less than 90 minutes. She next plays Frances Alzie Cornet, who beat top seed and five-time champion Serena Williams for the second time this season, winning 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 in a stunning upset. Cornet won their previous meeting on clay at Strasbourg last year. "I played well, even though it was straight sets it was a battle," said Bouchard. "It was tough with the lone rain delay, but it was the same for both girls "Im happy I was able to close it out with any serve, being aggressive and taking the ball early. During the rain delay I tried to conserve energy -- I wanted to give it all on the court. Bouchard said she didnt actually mind the wait. "Rain is part of the Wimbledon experience," she said with a laugh. "Weve been lucky so far, you have to have some rain at Wimbledon." cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
