Valaika strikes out on 3 pitches, all swinging.
Janish strikes out on 3 pitches, all looking.
Heisey strikes out swinging on a 2-2 count.
Reds cutting down on those strikeouts. I keep telling myself strikeouts don't matter. Haven't convinced myself yet.
In the last three games the Reds have faced King Felix and Zack Greinke. That will get you ready for the season in a hurry.
Weeks doubles off the left-field wall just above the glove of Heisey.
Frazier comes hard and makes a basket catch in short right for the first out.
Cheating Dog Braun gets a big hand from the crowd. Flies to shallow center.
Ramirez skies to center.
Scoreless after one. John Fay will be in the booth for the entire second inning.

Navarro first-pitch swinging is retired on a fly ball.
Mike Costanzo also swipes at the first offering and leaves the park. 7-4.
HRod offers at the first pitch and grounds to the mound.
That was nine straight batters that swung at the first pitch going back to the Reds half of the fifth.
Gregorius strokes a single on the second pitch.
Jones fouls the first pitch off. Players must be under orders to go up there hacking.
(Had to watch the ending of the Bearcats game. UC rallies from 11 down in the second half to win in double OT)
Jones ground single to right.
Francisco grounds to second to end the inning.
7-3 Reds.
