Izturis, 32, is a versatile switch-hitting infielder who has started at least 150 games at second base, third base and shortstop throughout his nine-year major league career.CHICAGO -- If this was Mike Leakes final start of the year, hell have plenty of motivation when he reports to camp in February. Toronto native Joey Votto hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the 13th inning and the Cincinnati Reds rebounded for a 4-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs after blowing a two-run lead in the ninth Tuesday night. Leake was closing in on his first career shutout when Starlin Castro reached on a two-out single and pinch-hitter Bryan LaHair drove a 2-0 pitch over the wall in right for Chicagos third hit of the game and his first homer since Sept. 20, 2008, for the Seattle Mariners. Leake bent over on the front of the mound as LaHair rounded the bases with the tying shot, but the Reds eventually recovered for their third win in nine games. "We all had visions of his first complete-game shutout, and he was one out away from that. Thats why its such a deflator." Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "It was a great performance. You hate to see him lose it like that. His pitch count was so low, he had plenty left in the tank." Leake, the eighth overall pick in the 2009 draft, retired 14 consecutive batters before Darwin Barney reached on catchers interference in the seventh. The 23-year-old right-hander then got Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Pena to fly out to end the inning. Leake struck out six and walked none in a career-high nine innings. He needed only 65 pitches to get through seven innings and finished with 91 overall. "Its the best Ive thrown since college, really," he said. "We just went after guys and its nice to go out there and only throw 91 pitches over nine innings. You cant really do much better than that." Leake has thrown 159 2-3 innings this season after 138 1-3 last year as a rookie. Prior to Tuesdays outing, Baker said he wasnt sure if Leake would make another start this season and he was "getting close" to being shut down. Leake said he obviously still wants to pitch but understands the circumstances. "It will give me a little something to remember come spring training next year if I am done," he said. "Little bad taste in the mouth." Dave Sappelt hit a leadoff double against John Grabow (3-1) in the 13tth inning and Votto followed with his second run-scoring double of the game. Discount Ray Ban Sunglasses. Miguel Cairo added a two-out RBI single to make it 4-2. Aroldis Chapman (4-1) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the victory and Francisco Cordero got three outs for his 321st career save, tying Jose Mesa for the most by pitcher from the Dominican Republic. It was his 31st save on the season. "I have not had the chance to talk to (Mesa). Im sure Ill see him when I go down there," Cordero said. "Im sure were going to talk about it and I can tell you hes pretty happy with what I accomplished tonight. Another save to become the all-time saves leader in the Dominican Republic. Im sure when I see him in the Dominican, hell say something to me." The Reds caught a break in the 12th when leadoff hitter Tony Campana hit a grounder to first and was called out on a close play. Replays indicated Campana beat Votto to the bag. Campana argued with umpire Tim Welke at first before Cubs manager Mike Quade came out and had an animated argument, then headed back to the dugout. "It was a big part of the game. I got a little riled up," Campana said. "Going down I think I have the best view at it. So I knew I beat it." Cubs starter Rodrigo Lopez allowed two runs and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings. The Reds finally got to Lopez in the sixth inning. Sappelt led off with a single and scored from first on Vottos double to right, ending a season-high 0-for-14 slide for the reigning NL MVP Votto scored on Devin Mesoracos double play ball to give the Reds a 2-0 lead. LaHair was one of the Cubs September callups after a successful season in triple-A Iowa. He was leading the minors with 38 home runs and was batting .331 with 109 RBIs when he was promoted Friday. It was his fourth career homer in the majors. NOTES: The Cubs recalled LHP John Gaub, INF DJ LeMahieu and OF Lou Montanez from triple-A Iowa. ... Cubs Canadian RHP Ryan Dempster will try to avoid losing his fourth straight start on Wednesday. ... Reds RHP Johnny Cueto is Wednesdays scheduled starter for the Reds.
