Batting clean-up in Dusty Baker's new line-up, Ryan Ludwick hit a game changing three-run home run in a Reds shutout win Tuesday at GABP.
With Joey Votto injured, Baker moved Brandon Phillips to third in his line-up and Ryan Ludwick to fourth and it paid off. Ludwick's 13th home run this season reached the second deck in left field and staked the Reds to a 4-0 lead.
Johnny Cueto, who the Reds skipped in the rotation Sunday because of a blister, threw 6 shutout innings to earn the win.
