Jason Lane, ex-Astros hitter, on the mound. He hit rightie but slings the ball from the portside. He is nearing his mid-30s but I suppose he has a young arm. If that makes any sense. Michael Griffin is trying the same thing for the Reds.

Valdez, pinch hitting, lifts an easy fly ball to right for the first out.
Brandon draws a free pass. Phillips steals second.
Janish hits the top of the left-field wall and cruises into second. Kelch and Welsh think it was a home run. Brandon Phillips had to hold up so only reaches third.
Lane fires one in the dirt that gets past Blanco. Phillips scores. Janish moves on to 3rd. 5-1.
Votto pops to Roberts for the second out.
Ludwick walks. Runners on the corners.
Bruce flies to right to end the inning.

5-1. Reds.
