Also, before this season Craig Biggio had hit more leadoff homers against the Reds than any other team - 6. The only other team he's hit as many off is Milwaukee - he hit his 6th off them earlier this year.
But, Biggio has never homered in a Reds game in which he was plunked, and has only 1 double. In his 240 career games against the Reds, Craig Biggio has batted .281 and slugged .410 in games when he wasn't plunked, and batted .172 and slugged .190 in games when he did get plunked. Biggio's career batting average is .284 when he isn't plunked and .296 when he is, and his slugging stays about the same (.003 higher when plunked). His slugging percentage in games when he's plunked is worse against the Reds than against any other National League team, and his batting average in those games is third worst, ahead of only the Dodgers (.152) and the Mets (.170).

Though hitting him may be effective for the Reds in keeping down Biggio's offensive production, the Astros are still 12-8 in those games. The Astros overall record against the Reds when Biggio plays is 130-103.
