Snapping out of a 4-for-42 slump, Lee Lacy collected three hits and drove in three runs to pace the Dodgers to an 8-0 rout of the Reds and cut their magic number to three in the West division. Lacy had a two-run double in the first inning and knocked in another run with a single in the second as the Dodgers sent nine men to the plate in each of the first two frames. [The Sporting News]
