MLB: Colorado 5, Cincinnati 1

DENVER, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Jason Giambi and Garrett Atkins drove in two runs each Thursday, leading Colorado to a 5-1 win over Cincinnati, capping a four-game sweep.

Contreras gave up a run and four hits in three innings with three walks and five strikeouts.

The winner was reliever Juan Rincon (3-2).

Brandon Phillips had three hits and one RBI and Joey Votto added two his for the Reds, who had won seven straight before the sweep.
