CINCINNATI -- Wily Peralta made the pitches he wanted Monday against the Cincinnati Reds. He just wasnt rewarded.The Reds found just enough holes to score three first-inning runs, and four pitchers teamed up on Cincinnatis eighth shutout of the season in a 3-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.The Reds sent eight batters to the plate in the first against Peralta (6-10). They collected a walk and four hits, including back-to-back infield hits to shortstop Jonathan Villar by Adam Duvall and Brandon Phillips that loaded the bases, setting up Scott Scheblers two-run single. Tyler Holt followed with an RBI single.It was a little frustrating, Peralta said. I made the pitches I wanted to make. I got ground balls. They just found some holes. They didnt hit anything hard.Manager Craig Counsell had no complaints about his veteran right-hander, who turned in 7 2/3 innings in his last start against the Cubs last Tuesday.Wily pitched very well tonight, Counsell said. He continued what hes been doing. We didnt have much luck tonight.Keyvius Sampson started and Blake Wood (6-3), Michael Lorenzen and Raisel Iglesias followed as the Reds posted their seventh shutout since the All-Star break. They went into the game tied with the Cubs, Angels and Marlins for the most second-half shutouts in the majors.Iglesias pitched the final two innings for his third save in four opportunities as the Reds extended their winning streak to four games.The Brewers, who had hit at least one home run in nine consecutive games, have lost three of their last four and have been shut out eight times this season.Sampson, making his second start of the season as the Reds skipped Anthony DeSclafani, tied his career high with seven strikeouts. But he was relieved by Wood in the fifth with the bases loaded and two outs -- not long enough to qualify for the win. He allowed four hits and two walks and hit a batter.Wood stifled the threat by getting Hernan Perez to fly out.Sampson threw a lot of strikes, Counsell said. He seemed to struggle finding the zone when weve faced him in the past. We didnt get many good counts. His slider was effective. He threw it for strikes. We didnt get many leadoff batters on.Peralta rebounded after Holts single to retire the next 15 batters before Phillips dribbler hugged the third base line for an infield single with two outs in the sixth inning. Peralta allowed six hits and three runs with one walk and five strikeouts in six innings.TRICKYReds 2B Brandon Phillips tried to catch the Brewers and the umpires napping, catching and then dropping Peraltas soft liner with Martin Maldonado on first base and nobody out in the third inning. Second base umpire Roberto Ortiz immediately ruled the ball was caught and Maldonado still was safe at first.HIGHLIGHT REELThe Reds used two right fielders and both made eye-catching plays. Schebler made a diving catch of Perezs blooper to end the first, then Steve Selsky easily threw out Jonathan Villar trying to score from second Scooter Gennetts twoout single in the sixth.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: Rookie SS Orlando Arcia got Monday off after playing in 37 of Milwaukees 39 games since making his major league debut on Aug. 2.Reds: SS Jose Peraza returned to the starting lineup after missing Sundays game in Pittsburgh with a sore right pinky finger, the result of fouling a ball off of it on Saturday.UP NEXTBrewers: RHP Matt Garza (5-6), who allowed just three hits and one run over six innings without getting a decision in Milwaukees 2-1 victory over the Cubs last Wednesday, starts on Tuesday.Reds: RHP Dan Straily (11-8), who set his single-season career high for losses in his last start, tries to improve to 8-2 since the All-Star break on Tuesday.

Mumbai Cricket Association president Sharad Pawar is the first high-profile Indian cricket administrator to step down in the wake of the Lodha Committees recommendations that made him ineligible to continue in the post. The MCA, however, said it had not yet accepted Pawars resignation.The Lodha Committee, among other things, had recommended that BCCI and association office bearers should not be over the age of 70, should not hold office for more than nine years and should not be ministers or civil servants. Pawar, 76, has been MCA president since 2001 and is a politician.The BCCI and a majority of the state associations had rejected adopting these specific recommendations from the Lodha Committee despite the Supreme Court having approved them in its July 18 order.Pawar resigned his post at an MCA committee meeting in Mumbai on Saturday. He has submitted his resignation to me, honouring the Supreme Court judgment, MCA joint-secretary PV Shetty told ESPNcricinfo. We have taken his resignation letter, but we have not accepted it or acted on that till the next meeting.MCA joint-secretary Unmesh Khanvilkar said Pawars resignation was the only point of discussion in the meeting that lasted for half an hour. We will decide on the date of the managing committee meeting in the next week and have a discussion on it [Pawars resignation], he said.In his letter to the MCA, Pawar said that he was hurt by the Supreme Courts observation that BCCI officials did not want to give up lucrative positions in the board. While taking the decision regarding cricket, the Supreme Court has said that the officials should not be above 70 years of age and they have described these positions as lucrative which made me very sad and thats why I dont have any wish to work any more, the Indian Express quoted him as having stated in his resignation letter.In reality the positions are filled through democratic means. Since these appointments were happening through democratic means, I was happy to work in that position.During my term as MCA president, I did not take any allowance or get any financial benefit.dddddddddddd I and my colleagues have given time and taken the entire responsibility for our work in the association. While building new facilities, we took care that the name of MCA will be taken with pride. The Supreme Court should have taken a note of this.A powerful regional politician, Pawar, while continuing in his role as MCA president, took over as the BCCI president in 2005, before taking up the same role in the ICC in 2010. He had announced after a meeting of the managing committee in July he would step down as MCA president within six months, and that the Lodha Committees recommendations would be implemented within the stipulated six months. He said the association would begin the process of reform by amending its constitution.As per the Supreme Court guidelines, I can continue [as MCA president] for six months, not beyond that. After that khushi se alvida [I will happily bid goodbye], Pawar had said then. I am quite happy to retire because Supreme Court has said nobody above 70 can continue. Secondly, Supreme Court has said about [the maximum period of] nine years, so I come in both categories, and therefore I should not expect to continue.Pawar, though, said, the MCA wanted clarification on the one-state-one-vote proposal, by which no state can have more than a single vote in the BCCI elections. Currently Maharashtra contains three associations eligible to vote, the Maharashtra Cricket Association, the Mumbai Cricket Association and the Vidarbha Cricket Association. The Lodha Committee recommended that in such cases, the associations vote by rotation; so each of Maharashtra, Mumbai and Vidarbha will get a vote once in three years.According to the Indian Express, the MCA eventually convened an SGM in November to discuss the recommendation and arrived at a consensus that the specific recommendation had the potential to affect their very existence.
