CINCINNATI -- Reds manager Bryan Price made one tweak to his lineup and then watched his most reliable player come through again.Joey Votto extended his post-All Star break surge with a three-run homer, and Dan Straily pitched six innings on Friday night, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-2 victory over the slumping Arizona Diamondbacks.Price moved Billy Hamilton back to the leadoff spot -- he had batted lower in the lineup most of the season while he struggled at the plate. Hamilton led off the first inning with a single and scored when Votto connected off Archie Bradley (3-6).To finally get another chance up there is good, said Hamilton, who had two hits, a walk, and three steals off Bradley. I think I did a little bit to deserve another chance. The main thing is I want to get there and stay there.Votto has hit safely in all seven games since the All-Star break, going 12 for 23 with a double, three homers, eight RBI and seven walks.Tucker Barnhart added a solo homer in the sixth off Randall Delgado. Brandon Phillips later singled home a run, extending his hitting streak to 10 games. Zack Cozart had an RBI double in the eighth.Straily (5-6) made his fourth straight quality start, settling down after a rough first inning. Jean Segura opened the game with a homer, and Michael Bourn doubled and scored on Welington Castillos sacrifice fly. Straily gave up five hits in six innings.The second inning was big for me, said Straily, who gave up only three more hits during his six innings. I went out there with a lead. It helped me settle in.Bradley gave the lead right back with an even worse opening inning. Hamilton singled, Cozart walked, and Votto followed with his 17th homer before the Reds made an out. Cincinnati had three hits, two walks and a hit batter during the inning.Its the walks, Bradley said. They say if youre going to play with fire, youre eventually going to get burned. Tonight I did. Time after time, I keep putting myself in bad situations.The game got heated in the third inning. In his next at-bat following his homer, Segura was plunked in the lower back by Strailys first pitch. Segura motioned toward the mound with his left hand and said something to the pitcher. Plate umpire Carlos Torres got between Segura and catcher Barnhart and restored calm.The Reds got the better in a matchup of last-place clubs. The Diamondbacks began the day with second-year manager Chip Hale hearing reports that the team had considered changing managers. Arizona has dropped 16 of 20.Hales only comment: I would just say youre never surprised in this game about anything.BIG CHANGEHamilton opened the Reds first with a single and was called out at second base on a steal attempt. A video review showed he got his hand on the base before Seguras tag, and the call was overturned.

Having led his team to the NCAA Division I FCS Championship Game last season, Jacksonville State coach John Grass summed up the national playoffs best on Sunday:A team must keep the focus high because it will keep facing great opponents throughout a deep playoff run.A lot of those teams will come from the power conferences as the Big Sky, CAA Football, Missouri Valley and Southern Conference collected four qualifiers each while combining for two-thirds of the 24-team field announced Sunday. Leading the way was No. 1 seed North Dakota State, which seeks to add to its NCAA-record five straight national titles.Through the playoffs, its all (about) how your team plays, Grass said on the ESPNU selection show. I think our guys have some experience there. Its an interesting deal that everybody raises their level of play up and youve got to be ready for that.The single-elimination playoffs begin at campus sites next Saturday and culminate with the FCS championship game Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas.As long as North Dakota State (10-1), the Missouri Valley co-champ, and No. 2 seed Eastern Washington (10-1), the Big Sky co-champ, remain alive, they are guaranteed home games through the semifinals.Thats particularly noteworthy to North Dakota State -- and the Bison competition, for that matter -- as their dynasty has only had home games at the Fargodome prior to the past five championship games.Our fan base really amps it up when we get to the playoffs, coach Chris Klieman said. I know theyre excited (that) as long as were playing, its going to be at Gate City Bank Field. We look forward to a great playoff.Jacksonville State (10-1), the Ohio Valley Conference champ, earned the No. 3 seed and CAA champ James Madison (10-1) was seeded fourth. Southland Conference champ Sam Houston State (11-0), which enters the playoffs as the only unbeaten FCS team, was the No. 5 seed, followed by SoCon champ The Citadel (10-1), Big Sky co-champ North Dakota (9-2) and Missouri Valley co-champ South Dakota State (8-3). The eighth-seeded Jackrabbits earned the Valleys automatic bid because of a 19-17 win over North Dakota State at the Fargodome.Ten conferences have automatic bids in the playoffs. While the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference relinquished its bid last year to begin sendingg its champion to the Celebration Bowl, its runner-up, North Carolina A&T (9-2), earned one of the 14 at-large bids.ddddddddddddThe last teams to miss on at-large bids were Albany (7-4) and Fordham (8-3), selection committee chair Brian Hutchinson said.Interestingly, the last eight FCS champions are in the field with NDSU (2011-15), Eastern Washington (2010), Villanova (2009) and Richmond (2008). Four-time champ Youngstown State (1991, 1993-94, 1997) and James Madison (2004) help combine on 13 past champions.Yup, as Grass said, there are plenty of great teams in the FCS playoffs.2016 NCAA DIVISION I FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP(Campus sites until the championship game)(All times ET)FIRST ROUNDSaturday, Nov. 26Saint Francis (7-4) at Villanova (8-3), 2 p.m. (ESPN3)Weber State (7-4) at Chattanooga (8-3), 2 p.m. (ESPN3)Lehigh (9-2) at New Hampshire (7-4), 2 p.m. (ESPN3)Charleston Southern (7-3) at Wofford (8-3), 2 p.m. (ESPN3)North Carolina A&T (9-2) at Richmond (8-3), 2 p.m. (ESPN3)Illinois State (6-5) at Central Arkansas (9-2), 3 p.m. (ESPN3)Samford (7-4) at Youngstown State (8-3), 5 p.m. (ESPN3)San Diego (9-1) at Cal Poly (7-4), 7 p.m. (ESPN3)SECOND ROUNDSaturday, Dec. 3Lehigh/New Hampshire winner at No. 4 seed James Madison (10-1), 2 p.m. (ESPN3)Samford/Youngstown State winner at No. 3 seed Jacksonville State (10-1), 2 p.m. (ESPN3)Saint Francis/Villanova winner at No. 8 seed South Dakota State (8-3), 3 p.m. (ESPN3)Weber State/Chattanooga winner at No. 5 seed Sam Houston State (11-0), 3 p.m. (ESPN3)San Diego/Cal Poly winner at No. 1 seed North Dakota State (10-1), 3:30 p.m. (ESPN3)Illinois State/Central Arkansas winner at No. 2 seed Eastern Washington (10-1), 4 p.m. (ESPN3)Charleston Southern/Wofford winner at No. 6 seed The Citadel (10-1), 6 p.m. (ESPN3)North Carolina A&T/Richmond winner at No. 7 seed North Dakota (9-2), 6 p.m. (ESPN3)QUARTERFINALSFriday, Dec. 9 and Saturday, Dec. 10Second-round winners, TBA (ESPN Networks)SEMIFINALSFriday, Dec. 16Quarterfinal winners, 7 p.m. (ESPN2)Saturday, Dec. 17Quarterfinal winners, 6:30 p.m. (ESPNU)CHAMPIONSHIPSaturday, Jan. 7Toyota Stadium in Frisco, TexasSemifinal winners, noon (ESPN2) ' ' '
