Red Hot Arroyo

Cincinnati , which won a franchise-record 17 games in April en route to the best record in the National League through Sunday, has found an unlikely ace in Bronson Arroyo (right). The 29-year-old righthander, traded to the Reds on March 20 for outfielder Wily Mo Pe�a , loves his new home. "It's a more relaxed atmosphere," says the mellow Key West native, who was 4-0 with a 2.34 ERA through five starts with Cincinnati , after going 14-10, 4.51 for Boston last season. "I feel I can control my emotions a little more, control the game a little more. In Boston you're expected to win every night. Here, they're picking us to run neck and neck with the Pirates for last place." Maybe not for long.
