Stubbs and Reds continue rolling with 7 game win streak despite Votto in line-up and Xavier's regular season opening game set.

Stubbs high-fives Cozart after homering against Houston.

You could call the Reds the cardiac Redlegs. The Reds sweep the Brewers, then travel to Houston and sweep the Astros to keep hot and remain on a 7 game win streak and win 14 of their last 16.

Former Red Francisco Cordero came in for the close twice  in the Reds vs Astros series, only to blow the game. Twice. via Drew Stubbs.

On the first game, Stubbs hit a HR to take the lead 3-2 in the Top of the 9th to left. Xavier Paul, a hot call up in place of Votto, hit a RBI single later in the inning.

On the 2nd blown save by Cordero (now an Astro), the Reds down 3-2, with runners on 1st and 2nd, Drew Stubbs doubles to deep left center, scoring Xavier Paul and Brandon Phillips to take the lead 4-3. A Bruce RBI single later in the inning would extend the lead to 5-2, where Chapman would shut down the 'stros as usual.
