CINCINNATI — Drew Sutton hit his first grand slam, joining one of the longest power surges in Cincinnati Reds history, and Sam LeCure went six innings to win his big-league debut, 15-6 over the historically bad Houston Astros on Friday night.
The Reds maintained a one-game lead over St. Louis in the NL Central, winning for the 22nd time in 31 games. Cincinnati is nine games over .500 for the first time in four years.
The Astros fell to 16-32 for the first time in franchise history. The worst team in the National League had catcher Kevin Cash pitch the ninth to save a weary pitching staff. He gave up three hits and a run.
Brandon Phillips and Jonny Gomes connected off Wandy Rodriguez (2-7), who gave up a season-high eight runs in 3 1-3 innings. Sutton had a pinch-hit grand slam for a 14-2 lead in the sixth.
The Reds have homered in 17 straight games, tied for the third-longest streak in club history.
Gomes also tripled home a run and singled in another. He missed a shot at the cycle in the seventh, when he singled to left field but was forced to stop at first.

Ibanez RG 7CST
They range from a couple hundred to a couple thousand...You can get a good Ibanez 7-string for around $500-600...The RG series one is one of the cheaper models, probably like $3-400, still a good guitar...
basically i am probally going to be buying a new 7 string guitar, and have narrowed my brands down to ibanez and schecter, cause they seem to have the best value:$ ratio and i think they look cool. So the details are im going to be playing for the most part heavy sounding stuff. (KoRn sounding)(not just coping them but similar). I also dont think i wanna bother with a tremolo. ive heard the dont give the same tone and sustain and, the ups arent worth the downs. Also the price range has to be under $1000. i was looking at the schecter C-7(hellraiser,blackjack, and the ATX model), and for ibanez maybe one of the RG series. i was looking at the RG7321. theres also the K7 apex2 in the price range but i dont like have no tone knobs or really any other sound options. so ya any advice or options would be great. P.S. i want one that doesnt limit other styles like lead and normal 6 string material.
depends on a lot of variables. do you like a thinner neck? if you do then go ibanez. if it was my choice i would choose the schecter. you must go to the shop and try them out and make your decision that way.
