CINCINNATI, Sept. 21 (UPI) -- Bronson Arroyo pitched his first shutout of the season Wednesday, helping the Cincinnati Reds to a 2-0 victory over the Houston Astros.
Arroyo (9-12) didn't give up a hit until the fifth inning and ended up with a six-hitter. He didn't walk a batter.
It was his first shutout since 2009 and fourth over his 12-season career.
Houston had runners on first and third with one out in the eighth but Arroyo struck out Brian Bogusevic and Jordan Schafer -- his only strikeouts of the game.
Brandon Phillips, who finished with three hits, led off the Cincinnati first with a single. After an out, he stole second and, after another out, scored on Chris Heisey's base hit to center.
Miguel Cairo led off the second with his eighth home run of the season for the Reds' other run.
Astros starter Wandy Rodriguez (11-11) then retired 11 consecutive batters before giving up another hit. He walked two in addition to giving up four hits and struck out four over seven innings in taking the loss.
