Reds 2, Giants 1: Mat Latos allowed two hits in his second consecutive complete game to lift visiting Cincinnati past San Francisco.

Latos (7-2) carried a one-hit shutout into the ninth inning before allowing his lone run to win his seventh consecutive decision. He faced only two batters over the minimum.

Latos had retired 18 consecutive batters before Brandon Belt delivered a one-out pinch-hit triple and scored on a groundout by Gregor Blanco. He ended the game with a flourish, striking out Ryan Theriot for his third career complete game.

Miguel Cairo singled in one run for the Reds, who capitalized on three straight walks by Giants starter Barry Zito to score their first run in the fourth inning.

Zito (6-6) lasted six innings, giving up one run on five hits while walking six and striking out three.

Latos, who struck out a career-high 13 batters in his last outing against Milwaukee, fanned seven and walked one.
