As I type, Joey Votto steps up to the plate to lead off the bottom of the eighth. He just grounded out to short, but a great game from Votto, blasting three bombs in a 9-0 blowout thus far. The real story of the game though was youngster Edison Volquez. He dominated, throwing 10 strikeouts in 7 shutout innings. On the other side of the ball, Jon Lieber made his first start as a cub since 2002 and didn't look to good. He only went two innings giving up 5 runs. Volquez will improve to 5-1 if the Reds can hold on in the top of the ninth.
