Billingsley Shuts Down Reds, Dodgers Win 4-1

Chad Billingsley pitched seven scoreless innings and singled home a run, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-1 victory over Cincinnati on Tuesday night and sending the Reds to their eighth straight loss at Chavez Ravine.

Billingsley (4-5) won for the fourth time in five starts, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out seven. The right-hander has given up seven earned runs in 32 innings during that stretch, taking a two-hit shutout into the eighth inning of his previous start last Thursday at Milwaukee.

Jonathan Broxton pitched a perfect eighth inning and Joe Beimel gave up a two-out RBI single in the ninth before Takashi Saito nailed it down for his seventh save in nine chances.
