MILWAUKEE -- A stinging line drive off the right leg of Cincinnatis Brandon Finnegan wasnt enough to stop the left-hander from dominating the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.Finnegan pitched five scoreless innings in what likely was his final start of the season, lifting the Reds to a 4-2 victory.You dont want to come out, especially that early in the game, so there was no way I was going to let them take me out, Finnegan said of being struck on the inside of his right knee. Luckily, it felt good enough to push through.Finnegan (10-11) scattered three hits and struck out four, needing only 54 pitches to get through five innings.Finnegan took a line drive from Milwaukees Hernan Perez in the second. Manager Bryan Price and trainers went to the mound, and Finnegan threw a few practice pitches before facing the next batter to make sure he was all right.It got tighter and tighter as the game went on, for sure, he said. Sitting between innings wasnt helping. But when I moved it, it was good enough to keep going.Raisel Iglesias pitched the ninth for his fourth save in five chances.Finnegan, obtained in the July 2015 trade that sent Johnny Cueto to Kansas City, is 4-3 with a 2.23 ERA in his last 11 starts. The left-hander has pitched 172 innings this year, up from 105 1/3 innings splitting time between the major and minor leagues in 2015.I made it through the season healthy, he said. Im glad I was able to put up the innings I was able to. I wish it was more, but its protocol for guys who dont have that many innings in years past.The team indicated in the days before Sunday that it would be Finnegans last start, but Price only would say he was toward the end of his innings limit after the game.If that is his last start, a great way to finish the season, Price said.Milwaukee starter Wily Peralta (7-11) pitched six innings, allowing three runs -- two earned -- on five hits and three walks while striking out five. Banished to the minors on June 12 after a poor start, Peralta returned in August and has made nine starts, going 3-4 with a 3.23 ERA in his second stint with the team.Scott Schebler had two hits for the Reds, including a double with one out in the first when the Reds took a 2-0 lead on an RBI double by Adam Duvall and an RBI fielders choice by Brandon Phillips.Jose Peraza walked in the third, and later scored on a throwing error by Milwaukee catcher Martin Maldonado for a 3-0 lead.The Reds extended the lead to 4-0 in the seventh on a pinch-hit single by Steve Selsky, scoring Eugenio Suarez.The Brewers scored twice in the seventh off Jumbo Diaz, with Hernan Perez scoring on a throwing error by catcher Ramon Cabrera. Yadiel Riveras groundout then scored Orlando Arcia to make it 4-2.Ryan Braun had a single and triple, and Perez had two singles for Milwaukee. The Brewers went 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position.ATTENDANCE DOWNIt was the final home game for the Brewers, who drew 2,314,614 fans, down 9 percent from 2,542,558 a year ago. Milwaukee went 41-40 at home and is 29-46 on the road.BRAUN OVATIONNews reports have indicated that Braun could be traded during the offseason, and the crowd gave him a standing ovation before his final at-bat in the eighth inning, and again after he struck out. He stepped out of the batters box and gave a wave to acknowledge the ovation.The love and support Ive received here is more than any athlete could ever hope to get from any fan base, Braun said. I think that the people here, at least most of them, recognized that theres a chance that this was my last home game as a Brewer.VOTTOS DOUBLES MARKVotto hit his 30th double in the eighth, becoming only the second Reds player with at least 30 doubles in eight different seasons. Pete Rose had 30 doubles in 13 seasons for Cincinnati.TRAINERS ROOMReds: Price said it was improbable that RHP Homer Bailey would pitch again this season. He has been out four weeks with right biceps tenderness.Brewers: Maldonado returned to the starting lineup after going through concussion protocol. He took a hard foul off his mask on Thursday.UP NEXTReds: Tim Adleman (2-4) will pitch Monday night as Cincinnati opens a four-game series at St. Louis, which is vying for an NL wild-card spot.Brewers: Matt Garza (5-8) will make his 19th start of the year at Texas in an interleague game Monday night.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Nick Folk has patiently waited over nine months to kick in an NFL game again.Fully healed from a quadriceps injury that cut short his season, and facing yet another challenge for his job, the veteran kicker is eager to walk onto the field at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night when the New York Jets take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in the teams preseason opener.Im ready to play, Folk said. Ive been ready to play since the beginning of OTAs. Itll be good for me to get back out there and kind of get the juices flowing again. Im good and feel good out there.Folk has certainly looked good during training camp, consistently making kick after kick in practice.But as impressive as he has been this summer, rookie Ross Martin has been equally as good.Hes a good kicker and hes quiet, trying to observe more than anything, Folk said. Nice kid. Thats how I was as a rookie, too. Just a fly on the wall. Its kind of fun having him around, watching a good, young kicker kick.It all makes for an intriguing situation for coach Todd Bowles to sort out over the next few weeks.Every year is a competition because even if youre by yourself and you have a poor outing or poor training camp, theyre always looking for someone, Folk said. So, yeah, I do feel its a competition, and thats good. It should bring out the best in myself, Ross, and everyone else on this team.Folk, two field goals from passing John Hall for third place on the Jets career list, is no stranger to kicking for his job. Nick Novak (2011), Josh Brown (2012), Billy Cundiff (2013), Dan Carpenter (2013) and Andrew Furney (2014) have all come and gone. Folk has always come out on top since signing with the Jets in 2010 after being waived by Dallas in favor of Shaun Suisham after three seasons with the Cowboys.Martin, an undrafted rookie out of Duke, is the latest comer. And, he has a shot at doing what the others couldnt.Theyve both done a great job, special teams coordinator Brant Boyer said. Nicks a veteran guy that obviously has the experience, and theyve both been very consistent. I think they both have a really good chance and well see what happens.Bowles said earlier in camp he doesnt anticipate a decision being made until after the third game, at the earliest. That should give both Folk aand Martin plenty of opportunities.ddddddddddddome fans and media have speculated the Jets could opt for Martin if the two are close because of the salary differential. Folk, 31, is scheduled to make a base salary of $2.75 million; Martin will earn just $450,000.You cant think about that, Folk said. All I can do is control what I can control, and thats making kicks and kicking off well. Things will take care of themselves.Martin came to the Jets with a reputation for having an accurate and consistent leg. He was a four-time All-ACC selection at Duke and holds several school records, including most field goals made and attempted, highest career field goal percentage, and most PATs.He signed with the Jets following the draft after talking with some of the coaches.They sounded like they really wanted me to be here and they really wanted me to compete, said Martin, an Ohio native. Kicking is sort of unique in the sense that youre never exactly lining up against another guy. Its just you out there kicking.Martin grew up playing soccer, and was a linebacker and running back through eighth grade. Once he got to high school, he wanted to play both sports, and the only way to make it work was to kick for the football team during special teams practice, then take off his pads and head over to the soccer field next door.I did that for a couple of years, and then my junior year I decided to devote all of my time to football once I saw there was going to be a future in that in college with scholarships and everything, he said. Then, I went full throttle into that.Turns out, it was a great decision for Martin. Now, hell get a chance to kick in an NFL preseason game -- and take his first shot at beating out Folk.Im just out here trying to kick well and do my best each and every day, Martin said, and hopefully decisions are in my favor.Game notes The Jets placed DL Julien Obioha on injured reserve after he cleared waivers.
