CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Three players made the All-Star team. A seldom-used player drove in three runs. All in all, a pretty good day for the Reds. Cesar Izturis drove in three runs, matching his season total, and Mat Latos doubled home two more on Saturday, rallying Cincinnati to a 13-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners. It was Cincinnatis second victory over Seattle in interleague play. The Mariners are 9-2 overall in the series. "It was one of those days," Izturis said. The day will be remembered more for what happened just before the game began. The Reds learned that first baseman Joey Votto had been voted by fans as an All-Star starter for the second straight year, the first time thats happened to a Cincinnati player since Barry Larkin in 1999-2000. Joining him in the starting infield is Brandon Phillips, the first time a Reds second baseman has been voted to start since Joe Morgan in the 1970s. They became only the fifth set of teammates to start an All-Star game at first and second base. "Its a real honour," Votto said. "This year it will be special because Im playing beside Brandon. "Everything is finite. There will be an end to my career. I want to enjoy as many of these experiences as I can." Phillips played in the All-Star games in 2010 and 2011 as a reserve. "I want to thank the fans for voting for me," Phillips said. "Its a dream come true. Its something that I can check off my goals." Closer Aroldis Chapman also was chosen for the second straight year. The Reds overcame another early deficit to get their second win over Seattle. Manager Dusty Baker decided to give Izturis his ninth start at shortstop so he could get some at-bats and stay sharp. Izturis singled home a run in the second and doubled home two more in the fifth off Jeremy Bonderman (1-3). Baker had told Izturis on Friday that hed be in the starting lineup for the second game of the series. "Dustys always good about letting you know," Izturis said. "And thats good, especially when you dont play every day. Its definitely all mental. Its not that easy, but we know what were here for." The Reds scored more runs than in any game since a 13-7 win over Milwaukee on May 11. It was the second-most runs allowed by the Mariners, trailing a 16-9 loss to Houston on April 9. Latos (8-2) matched his season high with four walks in six innings, but also doubled his RBI total by driving in a pair of runs with a double. He allowed six hits and fanned 11 while throwing 111 pitches. Kyle Seager drove in three runs off Latos with a homer and a sacrifice fly. Bonderman was coming off his shortest start since 2007, going only 3 1-3 innings during a 7-6 loss to the White Sox on June 30. He lasted longer, but didnt fare much better. The right-hander went five innings, allowing seven hits, five walks and six runs. Five of them scored with two outs. For the second day in a row, the Mariners got a two-run homer in the first inning to jump-start the offence. Nick Franklin had a two-run shot off Mike Leake during a 4-2 win on Friday night. Endy Chavez singled and Seager followed with his 13th homer. Seattle has 21 homers in the first inning this season, most in the majors. Latos helped the Reds pull ahead to stay with two outs in the fourth. He doubled home two runs and scored from second on Shin-Soo Choos single for a 4-3 lead, sprinting around third to beat the throw from centre fielder Dustin Ackley. "That was a good time to get a hit," Latos said. "The offence picked me up. Thirteen runs is always good, especially when I put us in 2-0 hole." Izturis doubled home two more in the fifth, and Jay Bruce added a two-run double during a three-run sixth that put it away.

Set The Bar High may turn out to be aptly named.Even before a winning debut at Warrnambool earlier this month connections were thinking high.Trainer Symon Wilde is already looking ahead to the South Australian Derby in the autumn but first Set The Bar High will attempt a city victory in the Planet Ruler Handicap (1400m) at Flemington on Saturday.Win, lose or draw the three-year-old is likely to be put aside after Saturday with Wilde keen to map out a Derby program..The Set The Bar High story dates back to his dam, Youthful High, who was trained by Wilde and his father Bill to win seven races for the pair after starting her career in South Australia with Tom Dabernig.We raced the mother years ago and she was a really good mare for us, Wilde said.We ended up selling her as a broodmare when her career had finished but we ended up buying a couple of the foals back which were Itz A Debacle and Set The Bar High.Some of the same owners of Youthful High have bought into this horse.It was a good little journey with Youthful High and this horse looks like hes got her ability, more so than what the older ((half) brother has.ddddddddddddilde considered running Set The Bar High over 1600m at Flemington last week but reasoned an extra week would be more beneficial.He also saw enough speed in the three-year-old in his debut win to suggest Saturdays 1400m trip was ideal.But long term he has his eye on longer races as Youthful High was adept over a middle distance and was placed at 2600m at Flemington.The mare was a stayer and I reckon this bloke is similar, Wilde said.We were surprised with how much speed he showed at Warrnambool where he sat up on the pace and we thought an extra week and a fortnight between runs might suit him a bit better.Stablemate Sister Kitty Mac will try to extend her winning sequence to three when she lines up in the Isca Handicap (1100m) following victories at Dunkeld and Werribee.Shes a speedy, very quick horse and I think thats played into her hands in her two wins, Wilde said.She is talented. Not many win their maiden and then a (benchmark) 64. ' ' '
