CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Maybe its good this one got suspended.
Mitchell
Trubisky Jersey . Gave everybody a chance to dry off a bit, catch their
breath and let those unbelievable numbers start to sink in. Ten homers in only
six innings. Three sets of back-to-back homers, tying a record. The most
combined homers in a major league game since 2006. And the Pirates and Reds
still have a long way to go. Neil Walker and Gaby Sanchez hit back-to-back
homers twice, and the Pirates and Reds hit 10 in all before rain forced a
suspension after six innings with the score tied 7-all Monday night. "I saw a
lot of crazy stuff in Coors Field over the years," said Pirates manager Clint
Hurdle, who managed in Colorado for eight years. "I spent a lot of years there,
saw a lot of homers, saw a lot of weather. "This was as good as any of that,
jammed into one evening." The shocking slugfest will resume on Tuesday at 5:30
p.m. in the top of the seventh inning. Conditions are expected to be drier but
much colder. Not that the weather seems to matter much when these two rivals get
together. "Ive never seen anything like that," Reds manager Bryan Price said.
"The way we got started, one team going in front of the other with home runs.
Ive seen a lot of home runs hit, but not in those conditions. You wouldnt
imagine they would carry that far." Pittsburgh hit six solo shots and Cincinnati
had four homers, most of them into a heavy rain. Already, its the most homers in
a major league game since 2006 and the most combined homers for a game in Great
American Ball Parks 12-year history. Pittsburgh had three sets of back-to-back
homers, only the third time thats happened in major league history. The game was
suspended following a 1-hour, 38-minute delay, the second time in less than a
year that a game was suspended in Cincinnati. The Reds and Phillies were
scoreless last April 16 in the middle of the ninth inning when play was halted
because of rain, and Cincinnati won 1-0 in the bottom of the ninth the following
day. The Ohio River rivals were known more for trading hit-by-pitches last
season. The Pirates and Reds plunked each other 28 times -- most in the majors
-- while nailing down the two NL wild-card spots. Their first matchup of 2014
was more swing-away than get-out-of-the-way. Ten of the 17 combined hits so far
have cleared the wall. All but one of the 14 runs has come on a homer. "It
wouldnt be a Pittsburgh-Cincinnati game without some drama," Walker said.
Pittsburgh went back-to-back three times. Walker and Sanchez did it in the
second inning off Homer Bailey and again in the sixth off J.J. Hoover.
Starling Marte and Travis Snider teamed up in the fifth off Bailey. It was only
the third time in major league history that a team had three sets of
back-to-back homers in a game, according to STATS. The others: Cincinnati
against the Braves in 1956, and Boston against the Yankees in 1977. "I certainly
wouldnt think that I would find my way attached to a home run record," Walker
said. "The games not even over yet, so I dont know how to express whats going
on. But thats pretty cool." Both teams had a chance to take a lead with the rain
coming down heavier and the field getting muddier. The starters and bullpens
failed to hold on. Wandy Rodriguez gave up Joey Vottos two-out homer in the
bottom of the fifth inning, putting Cincinnati up 6-5. The umpires inspected the
infield, called for dry dirt and decided to continue. Walker and Sanchez
connected again off Hoover for a 7-6 lead in the sixth. It was only the second
time that two Pirates went back-to-back twice in a game, according to STATS.
Toby Atwell and Jerry Lynch also did it against the Reds on April 27, 1954.
Devin Mesoracos solo shot off Bryan Morris tied it at 7 in the bottom of the
sixth. It was the first time since June 18, 2006, that two major league teams
combined for 10 homers in a game -- the Tigers hit eight and the Cubs three at
Wrigley Field that day. Something about Great American turns the Pirates into
power hitters. They also hit six homers in Cincinnati last Sept. 28 during an
8-3 win that clinched home-field advantage for the NL wild-card game. Then they
beat the Reds at PNC Park in the one-game playoff. Pittsburgh has 14 homers in
its last three games at Great American, four of them by Walker. NOTES: Several
hundred dogs were in the stands with their owners as part of an annual pet
promotion. ... Hurdle said C Chris Stewart felt good after catching consecutive
games in the minors as part of a rehab stint. Stewart had surgery on his right
knee March 19. ... Reds closer Aroldis Chapman threw 25 pitches in the bullpen
before the game, the first time hes thrown off a mound since he was hit in the
face by a line drive on March 19. The Reds hope to have him back next month.

Monday.COLUMBUS, Ohio -- No quarterback controversy here. Braxton Miller is back
and there is no question who will be leading Ohio State as it tries to get back
to the top of the Big Ten. Miller matched a career-high with four touchdown
passes in his first game in three weeks and No. 4 Ohio State ran the nations
longest winning streak to 17 games with a 31-24 victory over No. 23 Wisconsin on
Saturday night. Miller missed the last two games with a sprained left knee, but
didnt show the slightest bit of rust. The junior threw three touchdown passes in
the first half, including a 40-yarder to Corey Brown with 1 second left that put
Ohio State (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) up 24-14. "Ive been working really hard this last
couple weeks because Ive been hurt, fundamental-wise. Thats how I get things
going," Miller said. "I felt pretty good. My leg felt good, energy-wise. I wasnt
out of shape." Joel Stave and Jared Abbrederis kept the Badgers (3-2, 1-1) in
it. Stave threw for 295 yards and two TDs. Abbrederis caught 10 passes for a
career-best 207 yards and a score, winning most of his one-on-one matchups with
star cornerback Bradley Roby. James White ran 17 yards for a touchdown with
13:47 left in the fourth quarter to cut Ohio States lead to 31-21. "It was a
game of swings, a game of big plays," said first-year Wisconsin coach Gary
Andersen, who worked under Ohio State coach Urban Meyer at Utah. Wisconsin got
within 31-24 on a 42-yard field goal by Kyle French with 2:05 left in the
fourth, and got the ball back at its own 10 with 1:29 left but Ohio State didnt
even give up a first down. The Buckeyes first big game of the season lured Ohio
native LeBron James to the Horseshoe and turned Ohio Stadium into the
most-scarlet place on earth. Just about everyone in the crowd of 105,826 --
third-largest in Ohio State history -- was donning the Buckeyes shade of red.
The Buckeyes had been off the radar for the first four weeks, beating up on
overmatched foes and dropping a couple of spots in the Top 25. The only news
from Columbus was Millers injury early in the second game of the season, though
the Buckeyes didnt miss a beat without him. Kenny Guiton stepped in and won
consecutive Big Ten offensive player of the week honours. Guiton was so good
some Buckeyes fans wondered aloud whether he should keep playing even if Miller
was ready to play. Miller said he wasnt paying any attention. "Im proud of
Kenny, the way he stepped in," said Miller, who passed for 198 yards and ran for
83. "I look at him as a big brother.&" And Meyer said there was never a
question Miller would start if he could.dddddddddddd "No, not if hes healthy,"
Meyer said. On Ohio States first series, Miller fired a 25-yard touchdown pass
to Evan Spencer. Stave matched Miller, carrying the Badgers offence. He was
never better than when he hit Abbrederis with a perfectly thrown deep ball for a
36-yard score to make it 7-7. "No. 4, hes got my vote for All-Big Ten," Meyer
said of Abbrederis. Miller hooked up with Devin Smith for a 26-yard touchdown
pass to make it 14-7 with 44 seconds left in the first quarter. Stave found Sam
Arneson for an 11-yard touchdown to cut the Ohio State lead to 17-14 with 1:30
left in the half. Too much time. Miller drove the Buckeyes to the 40 and
underthrew a deep pass on third-and-7 that hit Wisconsin cornerback Sojourn
Shelton in the hands, but the freshman dropped the interception. "Man, it
slipped out of my hand," Miller said. "I told Coach lets do it again and made up
for it the next throw." Brown got behind the Wisconsin secondary by a step and
Miller threw a dart that hit his receiver in the chest for a 40-yard touchdown
with a second left in the half. "Its basically a play that shouldnt happen,"
Wisconsin safety Dezmen Southward said. "There was no miscommunication. It was
just a bad play." Miller gave the touchdown signal, a couple of claps and a
clumsy hip bump with a teammate. Ohio State went to the locker room up 24-14 on
the three-time defending Big Ten champions. Meyer called the Badgers the kings
of the Big Ten this week, ignoring the fact that Ohio State beat Wisconsin
during its undefeated season last year. Because Ohio State was NCAA-banned from
post-season, Wisconsin went to the Big Ten title game from the Leaders division.
It was a not so subtle message to the Buckeyes from Meyer, who has never met a
motivational ploy he didnt try to exploit. The Buckeyes took a big step toward
taking that crown from the Badgers, though they lost starting safety Christian
Bryant to a broken ankle, Meyer said. Melvin Gordon, the nations leading rusher,
was held under 100 yards for the first time this season for Wisconsin. He had 74
yards on 15 carries before limping off with an apparent leg injury early in the
fourth quarter. Andersen said he thought Gordon would be OK. Roby had a rough
day overall, but his interception of an errant pass by Stave in the third
quarter set up Millers 1-yard TD pass to Brown with 2:18 left in the third
quarter to make it 31-14.
