With Bako on first, Hopper steps in for Patterson. Bako takes off on an 0-2 pitch and steals 2nd easily as the throw sails into the outfield.
Hopper goes down swining on a 1-2 pitch. Castro now up (for Keppinger) with a runner on 2nd and 2 down.

membengal - Javy had a couple of RBIs for the Reds' first two runs (single to right and later a grounder to SS) and last inning Kepp got a single, Griff doubled to left, Phillips doubled down the left field line (scoring Kepp and Griff), and Edwin got a lucky wind-aided bloop to score Phillips.

All kinds of changes in the field...
Gil in left, Hopper at CF, Hairston at RF, Freel at 3rd, Castro at SS, Cabrera at 2nd, Hatt at 1st, Bako at C. Harang stays in to pitch the bottom of the 6th.

Harang: 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K
Harang induces a grounder from Nigel Morgan. Hatt scoops up the 3 hopper and steps on 1st. 1 down.
Another grounder to 1st. Hatt steps on 1st for the 2nd out.
From the way Brantley and Thom are talking, Harang is pitching an absolute gem.
And as I type that, Harang gets an easy fly ball to CF to end the 6th.
Top 7, Reds up 5-0. In steps Hairston against LHP Sean Burnett.
With the count full, Hairston takes ball 4. Runner on 1st, nobody out for Jolbert Cabrera.
Burnett paying a lot of attention to Hairston. 2-2 count to Cabrera. Cabrera swings and misses on a down and in slider. 1 down.
2-0 pitch crushed by Gil, but it's tracked down in CF by Nigel Morgan. Hairston has to retreat to 1st. 2 down, Freel up.
Freel lines one to center. Morgan dives to rob Freel of a base knock. Still 5-0 Reds in the middle of the 7th.
Heeeeeeeeeeeere's Stanton!
Stanton now toes the rubber. He'll face Jason Bay.
