Frazier swings straight through two four-seamers, and whatd'ya know, the Reds leave another runner stranded at third.
Say what you want about Phillips, but when he is given an opportunity to get a guy home with less than 2 outs he usually gets the job done.
And if you're counting at home, yes, that is another pitcher striking out the side against the Reds. Nobody needs to tell me this team doesn't have a strikeout problem.
Little worried about Homer today. He pitched good last time, but those long fly-outs in Atlanta have a way of leaving the park here.
Homer not in the same zip code as the strike zone yet.
Whoa. Jay made that an adventure. 1 out.
Homer gets them 1-2-3.
Prediction for the day - Costanzo gets his first major league hit today.
But not this at-bat.
Sigh.
Another strikeout.
Mes with a ground-rule double just past Ibanez. Two chances to knock him in here.
Oh boy. Valdez swinging at balls in his eyes, then takes a bad slider right down the middle.
Strikeout #5 for Nova.
5 outs - 5 strikeouts
If you're the hitting coach on a team who can't hit the ball, what exactly are you even doing?
5 K's so far
Heisey!! RBI double. 2-0 Reds.
