Reds Defeat Giants Second Game In Row New York, May 13 — (UP) — The Cincinnati Reds were supposed to be stuck away in the cellar this season, but up to now they look like a team that might cause trouble all season in the tight National League race.

Moreover, Cincy finished on a high note, two straight triumphs over the pace-setting Giants. Yesterday, for the second day, they got brilliant pitching to win a 3 to 0 decision. Lefty Ken Rattens-1 berger won his fourth game, holding the Giants to four singles and walking just two men. Ralph Branca, though touched for 13 hits, won his fifth game, 11 to 6 over the Pirates in Brooklyn. He struck out nine men. seven with runners on base and five of them for the third out. Carl Furillo came out of a slump to lead Brooklyn’s 13-hit offensive with a triple and two doubles. Hank Borowy beat his old colleagues, the Cubs. 4 to 3, scattering eight hits as the Phils eveni
