Man the Cardinals bullpen is awful.
“And when finally they sense that some position cannot be sustained, they do not re-examine their ideas. Instead, they simply change the subject.” Jamie Galbraith
After 7 innings:
Reds 6, Cards 0
Volquez 97 pitches, 58 strikes.
Lohse out of the game, with a 6 inning quality start.
Garcia in for the Cards; 14 pitches, 2 outs, and gives up 3 runs. See, when we get into the middle relief corps of opposing teams, we can score. This happened because we got Lohse's pitch count high enough that he only lasted 6.
Franklin in with 2 outs: 10 pitches, 7 strikes.

Volquez goes 7, gives up 3 hits and 0 runs.
Yeah, that'll work
Volquez's day is done. Good move to pull him. He lowered his ERA from 2.86 to 2.73.
Nowadays this team is Volquez, then...well, Volquez.

That Cubs series is going to be tough...
Harden, Lily, Big Z vs Cueto, Arroyo, Harang*
*subject to change?
David Weathers retired the first two and then allows a single, walk, RBI single.
