Reds sweep Dodgers as Bench hits three run homer

The Reds prepare to face the Houston Astros with Gary Nolan starting tonight at Crosley Field as Atlanta leads the NL West by three games with seven left. Meanwhile the Dodgers head to Los Angeles to host the San Francisco Giants while the Braves meet the Padres.
