CINCINNATI, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Homer Bailey and three relievers combined on a seven-hit shutout Sunday to pace the Cincinnati Reds to a 2-0 whitewash of Florida.
Bailey (2-2), making his first major league start since late May when he went on the disabled list, tossed six shutout innings, allowing three hits, walking none and striking out four.
Logan Ondrusek and Nick Masset each chipped in with a scoreless frame and Francisco Cordero notched his 32nd save of season to complete the shutout and hand Cincinnati a three-game sweep of the Marlins.
The Reds -- who entered the game in a first-place tie with St. Louis atop the National League Central -- scored both of their runs on a sixth-inning homer by Miguel Cairo.
Anibal Sanchez (9-8) absorbed the hard-luck loss, yielding two runs on five hits in six innings of work.
