CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Johnny Cueto felt the blister and the heat. Neither one was all that much of a problem. Cueto showed no significant issues from his finger blister during six innings Tuesday night, and Ryan Ludwick hit a three-run homer that sent the Cincinnati Reds to their first victory without Joey Votto, 4-0 over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Votto had surgery earlier in the day to repair torn cartilage in his left knee, sidelining the former National League MVP for up to a month. "It was a struggle, a battle," manager Dusty Baker said. "Were going to have quite a few battle-type games without Joey on the offence." Cueto (11-5) threw 105 pitches, an indication that a blister he developed on his right index finger last week wasnt bothering him too much. He gave up four hits and walked four. "It was better," Cueto said, with an athletic trainer serving as translator. "I felt it a little bit, though." Aroldis Chapman came on with two aboard and two outs in the ninth and fanned Aaron Hill on four fastballs -- the last one 101 mph -- for his 14th save in 18 chances. Chapman has gotten 21 of his last 25 outs off strikeouts. Arizonas Trevor Bauer (1-2), the first of the 2011 amateur draft picks to reach the majors, had the roughest time in his four starts so far. The 21-year-old pitcher lasted only three innings, gave up four runs, walked five, threw two wild pitches and had an errant pickoff throw. "Its pretty obvious -- I couldnt throw a strike when I wanted to," Bauer said. "You put five guys on base and youre going to get beat." Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson revamped his lineup for the series opener, looking to get his hitters out of a collective slump. It worked -- 13 hits in a 5-3 win over the Reds on Monday night. He kept the same top five hitters in the batting order, but got different results with Cueto on the mound. Cueto had his start pushed back two days after he developed a blister while throwing in the bullpen. The Reds were concerned that he might not get very deep into the game and called up Todd Redmond to have another pitcher available in the bullpen, just in case. Cueto wore long sleeves on a humid, 96-degree evening and was crisp at the outset. His control faded in the middle innings, but was still good enough to get him out of bases-loaded, two-out threats in both the fifth and sixth innings. "It was hot today, but I didnt feel it too much," Cueto said. "My legs were feeling strong. Ive been running a lot." Baker attributed his control problems in part to the long layoff between starts because of the blister. "And the finger bothered him some," Baker said. "It didnt open up to bleed, but the skin came off of it a little bit. He got out of trouble, and thats the mark of a good pitcher. He can dial it up when he wants to and needs to, and he did." The Reds scored an unearned run in the first inning with Bauers help. Drew Stubbs walked, Zack Cozart reached on shortstop Stephen Drews error, and the runners pulled off a double steal. Stubbs scored when Bauer threw a wild pitch that bounced in front of the plate -- one of several that didnt make it nearly far enough. The bad moments were just beginning for the rookie. He walked two more in the third and threw wildly on a pickoff throw. He knocked Ludwick on his back with an up-and-in first pitch. "I almost did a reverse Chapman," Ludwick said, referring to the closers two forward somersaults after a save earlier this season. Ludwick hit the next pitch into the upper deck in left field for a 4-0 lead, extending Great American Ball Parks streak to 70 straight games with a homer. Its the longest such streak since Coors Field had 80 consecutive games with a homer from 2002-03. NOTES: OF Jason Kubel was out of the lineup for the fourth straight game because of a sore hamstring.

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders placed the franchise tag on safety Tyvon Branch on Thursday, guaranteeing him about $6.2 million for 2012 to keep him off the open market in free agency. "We are pleased that Tyvon will return to the Raiders in 2012," Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said in a statement. "Tyvon is a talented, productive player who we hope will be wearing the Silver and Black for many years to come. We will continue to work on a long-term deal to make that happen." Branch, a fourth-round pick in 2008, has started every game the past three seasons and led the Raiders in tackles the past two years. He had 78 solo tackles, one sack, one interception, four passes defenced and one fumble recovery last season. He also was much improved in pass coverage, cutting his completion percentage against from 67.4 per cent in 2010 to 55.7 per cent last season, according to STATS LLC. The move to lock up Branch means running back Michael Bush will likely be able to test the free agent market starting March 13. Bush led the Raiders with 977 yards rushing last season, stepping into the starting role when Darren McFadden went down with a season-ending foot injury. Bush has expressed interest in becoming a starter and might leave Oakland to do it. The decission to keep Branch is one of many key ones coming for the Raiders in the next few weeks.dddddddddddd Pro Football Talk reported recently that the Raiders were more than $20 million over the projected 2012 salary cap even before placing the franchise tag on Branch. The Raiders can rework contracts with high base salaries and salary cap numbers for 2012, like quarterback Carson Palmers and defensive tackle Richard Seymours. They also could cut some veterans like defensive tackle John Henderson. McKenzie said after hiring coach Dennis Allen that some of the teams contracts were "out of whack" but he didnt envision having problems getting under the cap. Oakland released cornerback Stanford Routt last month just one year into a $54.5 million, five-year contract. Linebacker Kamerion Wimbley, who got the franchise tag last off-season before signing a five-year, $48 million contract, also could be a target for restructuring or release. Wimbley was second on the Raiders with seven sacks last season and was also 15th in the league with 31 quarterback knockdowns and hurries, according to STATS. "We will take into consideration anything they come back with bearing in mind that he is one of the better players at his position," agent Joe Linta said. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
