SAN FRANCISCO -- Jay Bruce and Joey Votto will take their hot bats up against one of baseballs worst pitchers against left-handed hitters Tuesday night when the Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants meet for a second time in their three-game series.Bruce bombed his 22nd and 23rd home runs of the season and Votto extended his hitting streak to 10 games since the All-Star break in the Reds 7-5 win over the Giants in the series opener Monday night.On Tuesday, the Reds will get an opportunity to tee off against Giants right-hander Matt Cain, who has struggled big-time against lefty swingers this season.Cain has allowed a .352 batting average, fifth worst in the majors, against left-handed hitters in 2016. It is not the only area in which the 31-year-old has had more than his share of issues.Cain has pitched into the seventh inning in just two of his 12 starts. One reason: Opponents are hitting a major-league-high .468 against him after his 75th pitch of a game.In the last-place Reds, Cain will be facing a team with a 39-60 record. Such matchups have not worked in his favor this season, either.Among qualifying starting pitchers, he has the majors worst record (0-3) and eighth-worst ERA (6.66) against teams under .500.Cain is coming off one of his worst efforts, when he was bombed for three home runs in just 2 1/3 innings in an 11-7 loss at Boston last Wednesday. He gave up six hits and five runs to the Red Sox, dropping his record to 1-6 while raising his ERA to 5.88.With Jake Peavy adding three to the total in Mondays loss, the Giants have allowed a major-league-high 19 homers in their nine games since the All-Star break.The long ball is hurting us right now, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. We just need to find a way to get a quality start.Cains opponent on Tuesday will be Reds rookie Cody Reed, who has had troubles of his own this season. The left-hander is still searching for his first big-league win, as he is 0-4 with a 6.75 ERA in six starts.Reed is one of just six pitchers who remain winless this season despite making six or more starts this year.Unlike Cain, the 23-year-old could take some positive momentum into the game. Reed pitched his best game in his most recent outing, allowing just five hits and two unearned runs in six innings against the Atlanta Braves on July 19.The Reds lost the game 5-4 in 11 innings.Another positive for Reed is that he will be backed by a hot bullpen. Right-handers Jumbo Diaz and Raisel Iglesias and lefty closer Tony Cingrani retired 12 of the 13 batters they faced to save right-hander Anthony DeSclafanis win in Mondays series opener.The Cincinnati bullpen has compiled a fine 2.42 ERA in the month of July.We talk about it a lot ... the pitching staff we envision, Reds manager Bryan Price said after Mondays win. Were getting closer.Reed has never faced the Giants. His .311 batting average allowed is the 19th worst in the majors for guys with at least six starts, and only slightly lower than Cains .316, which is No. 16 on the list.Reed allowed at least one homer in every start except his most recent. Eight of the nine homers he served up came in just 107 at-bats against righty hitters.His .327 average allowed to righties is the 16th highest in the majors for pitchers with six or more starts.The Reds enter the game as one of baseballs hottest teams since the All-Star break, having won seven of 10.The Giants, on the other hand, have lost eight of nine.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- UCLA and Arizona State have had some wild games the past four seasons, including Kalen Ballages push-the-pile touchdown that secured the Sun Devils 38-23 victory a year ago.This years game, Saturday night at Sun Devil Stadium, will keep one team in the Pac-12 South race and put the other in a deep hole.You have to win at home; you better win them all if you want to compete in this league, Arizona State coach Todd Graham said. We have to figure out a way to beat a very good UCLA team here at home.Arizona States win a year ago at the Rose Bowl ended UCLAs perfect start to the season and sent the Bruins into a bit of a downward spiral.UCLA is on the upswing heading into this years game, coming off a 45-24 win over Arizona after losing to Stanford the week before. At 1-1 in the Pac-12, the Bruins (3-2) are a game behind No. 21 Colorado in the South Division.Arizona State has a better overall record (4-1) and also is 1-1 in conference, but is coming off a 21-point loss to Southern California.The difference Saturday will likely come down to what UCLA does when it has the ball.UCLA coach Jim Mora ripped into the Bruins after they labored offensively in the first half against Arizona and the tactic worked. The Bruins ran away from the Wildcats behind quarterback Josh Rosen, who threw for 350 yards and accounted for four touchdowns.Arizona State continues to have trouble preventing big plays despite a change in defensive approach. The Sun Devils were last in the FBS against the pass last season and are back at the bottom of the pack this year, allowing 396.4 yards per game.USC freshman Sam Darnold threw for 353 yards and three touchdowns against Arizona State in his first career start last week.A few more things to look for when the Bruins play the Sun Devils:WILKINS OUT: Arizoonas Manny Wilkins won a tight battle to be Arizona States starting quarterback and played well through the first four games.dddddddddddd The sophomore injured his left leg against USC last week and Graham said on Friday that he will not play against UCLA.That leaves the Sun Devils in the hands of redshirt freshman Brady White in his first career start. Though not the same running threat Wilkins is, White is a good passer with a nice touch. He hit 6 of 13 passes for 80 yards and a touchdown after Wilkins went down last week.MILLERS STATUS: UCLA could be without its starting right tackle against ASU.Sophomore Kolton Miller injured his left leg in the first half against Arizona last week and was seen around campus wearing a cast and riding a mobility scooter. If Miller cant go, redshirt freshman Andre James will likely get the start in his place.GONZALEZ EYES ALL-TIME MARK: Arizona State kicker Zane Gonzalez can break the NCAAs all-time field goal record if he makes three on Saturday.The senior broke the Pac-12 record of 85 last week by making two kicks and is two behind Florida States Dustin Hopkins, who had 88 from 2009-12. Gonzalez also leads the nation with 31 touchbacks on kickoffs.NUMBERS: The road team has won the last five games in the series. ... Rosen has not thrown an interception in his last 97 passes. ...
