IBB to get to Leake. Mike can handle the stick. Let's hope he makes 'em pay for it.

Leake flies out to shallow left. 1-0 Cards after 2.
It comes down to situational hitting, you can't waste a leadoff double like that.
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -Earl Weaver
Jay lines out to left.
Beltran grounds out to 2nd on the first pitch. 2 outs.
Holliday grounds out to short. 1-0 Cards mid 3rd.
Nice inning from Leake.

Offensive issues -
1. Left field all righty hitting platoon makes no sense. Should be lefty righty. Even with Heisey who will come down to earth against RHP, still makes no sense.
2. Scott Rolen hitting cleanup at this stage of his career.
3. Stubbs can't hit righties.
Not surprising Reds have problems against middle of the pack righty pitchers like Nolasco, Westbrook, Lohse. Need more lefty hitting. Need Rolen to produce.
Votto flies out to left. 2 outs.
Rolen lines out to short. 1-0 Cards after 3.
Some hard hit outs there, but still outs.
