Ryan Freel was the catalyst in getting A.L. ERA Leader, Cliff Lee, run from the game on Sunday.  His patience at the plate led to four straight two out hits and two runs for the Reds in the sixth inning.

Freel has hit safely in 17 of his 18 starts this season.  He has 10 multiple hit games in those starts.  His averaged has jumped 70 points since April 25th.   Freel had career lows and in B.A. O.B.P. and SLG % in 2007. 

Freel still needs to cross the plate more.  He has only scored 14 runs in 35 games. 

Let's see if he can sustain this run.  Recent history says he won't.
