Devin Mesoraco's fourth career grand slam in the fifth inning gave Johnny "Beisboll" Cueto all the run support necessary u a 7-2 win/.

Mesoraco single handedly matched National League home run leader, Giancarlo Stanton's 29th home run and Casey McGehee's third home run, both off Cueto.

The Reds catcher hit his 19th off Miami starter, Brad Hand, with Jay Bruce on base in the first inning, his 19th of the season and crushed his 20th with the bases loaded. It was Mesoraco's third career mult-home run game.  The six RBI is a new career high.

Cueto gave up just three other hits singles to pitcher Brad Hand, Stanton and McGehee.  Bruce nearly turned McGehee;s bloop single into a force at second but Stanton just beat the throw.

Bruce robbed Stnaton of his 30th home run in the top of the eighth, snatching his long fly from the first row of seats in right.  Bruce's right wrist was three inches above the fence when he made the catch.
