        THE ARMS: Left-hander Gabe White, who hadn't pitched since Saturday, yielded John Valentin's seventh-inning homer that broke a 3-3 tie and gave Boston its second victory in a row over the Reds (16-15).

        THE BATS: Sean Casey, who entered the game hitting .221, singled in his first three at-bats. Ken Griffey Jr. went 0-for-3, ending a four-game hitting streak in which he had batted .462 (6-for-13).

        THE REST: The sellout crowd of 7,619 was the second-largest in Ed Smith Stadium history — 40 people short of the record — and the biggest ever to see the Reds since they began training in Sarasota in 1998. It was the Reds' 15th sellout and seventh at home.

        UP NEXT: Today against Toronto at Dunedin, Fla., 1:05 p.m. Denny Neagle will oppose Blue Jays right-hander Frank Castillo.
