Gibson shuts down Reds

A night game at the Great American Ballpark in Cincy, Bob Gibson dominated striking out 11 Reds and second baseman Julian Javier went deep and had 2 RBIs as the 1967 St. Louis Cardinals beat the 2010 Cincinnati Reds 7-2. Gibson (1-0) was solid in the win. He surrendered only 5 hits and 2 walks in 7 and 2/3 innings. Only offense for the Reds was a Joey Votto 2 run homer. Aaron Harang (0-1) was the loser. He was touched for 10 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings. Gibson was pleased with his performance. He noted, 'I had good command of all my pitches. Just as important, my location was right on.'
