CINCINNATI (AP) - Joey Votto singled with the bases loaded and two outs in the 10th inning, and the Cincinnati Reds ended an afternoon of wasted chances by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 on Thursday.

Cincinnati loaded the bases with none out against Clay Zavada (1-2), stringing together a walk and a pair of singles. After Laynce Nix struck out and Jerry Hairston Jr. flied out to shallow right field, Votto singled past shortstop Augie Ojeda for his fourth hit of the game.

Francisco Cordero (1-2) escaped a bases-loaded threat in the 10th with the help of a double play. Justin Upton hit a routine fly to right fielder Jay Bruce, whose throw home beat the sliding Alex Romero for the third out. Bruce then had a bunt single during the Reds' winning rally.

Martin faces daunting task in final race
Sporting News: In order to overtake Jimmie Johnson in the standings, Mark Martin needs his teammate to finish worse than 25th this weekend. It's not impossible, but Johnson has finished worse than 25th in only 16 percent of his career starts.

Johnson looks to cap title run with race win
Rotoworld: With the way Jimmie Johnson has been racing, it's entirely possible he'll end up celebrating his Cup championship from Victory Lane in Florida. His toughest race competition, however, will come from the Roush-Fenway cars.
Opinion: Johnson's dominance not embraced by fans
Sporting News: Watching Jimmie Johnson, especially in the Chase, is a lot like watching Tiger Woods in golf's majors. But while Woods is considered good for his sport, Johnson's success is thought to detract from NASCAR's appeal. Why are they viewed differently?
