Flirting with perfection

On a baseball day highlighted by Dallas Braden's perfect game, Reds rookie Mike Leake carried his own streak of perfection through three-plus innings, a no-hitter through five-plus, and a shutout that nearly lasted seven innings. Alas, he ended up allowing three runs before it was all over, but the Reds got the win, and most importantly he just can't hide it anymore -- Mike Leake IS Leonardo DiCaprio.



Leake's strong work was largely the result of his approach that induces a lot of ground balls. That, in turn, creates a lot of action in the infield, which makes for a good day for a photographer such as myself. Check out the gallery at CNati.com.
