Cin 10, LA 4

Tuesday, May 19- Frank Robinson belted two home runs and drove in six runs as the Cincinnati Reds overpowered the Los Angeles Dodgers, 10-4 at the Coliseum.

The Reds used the Dodgers method of winning---power. Los Angeles leads the league in home runs, but the Reds (13-20) clubbed four homers in winning just their sixth game in their past twenty matches.

Robinson hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning and a three-run blast in the fifth. He added an RBI single in the ninth.

Jim Pendleton and Frank Thomas also homered for the Reds.

The game started inauspiciously for Reds starter Jim Brosnan, who was making his first 1959 start. Leadoff hitter Wally Moon reached on an error, then Charlie Neal slugged his eighth home run for a quick 2-0 Dodgers lead. But Brosnan (1-2) settled down and pitched 8.1 innings.

The Reds roughed up Dodgers starter Johnny Podres (3-4) for six runs in five innings of work.

The Dodgers (19-17) have lost six of eight.
