It is the sixth inning the Reds have hit six home runs. There have been two each by Jay Bruce and Ramon Hernandez. Drew Stubbs has clubbed one and legged out a triple for good measure. Miguel Cairo, who is acting like he doesn't want to sit when Joey Votto's neck heals, hit his second of the season.
The Reds have had at least one home run in the last 18 games.
For Bruce it is his second two-home run game of the season, the seventh of his career. He now has 50 career home runs and at 23 has yet to play a full season. Hernandez hit two in one game for the eighth time.
The last time the Reds hit as many as seven home runs in a game was on September 19, 2008 against Milwaukee. On that night Joey Votto hit two, Bruce hit two, Andy Phillips, Jerry Hairston Jr. and Jolbert Cabrera (Orlando's brother) hit one each.
