Ludwick pinch-hit for Cueto and grounded into a fielders choice. 5-2 Reds after eight innings.
Chapman coming in to pitch the 9th.
Holy crap that slider was FILTHY. Strike three swinging.
My biggest beef with Baker... The three run lead save. These are the ones you give to Broxton, Marshall, even Ondrusek... okay, maybe not Ondrusek, but you get my point. Especially with 4 games in three days.
Absolutely no need to use Chapman here.

Game 2 is against a lefty that they already saw once. Chances are good the offense can make game 2 a laugher if Redmond and the rest of the boys can do well, Probably wants to save the longer guys for Redmond's start. I'd guess Redmond will have a short leash with Lecure and Simon ready to go quickly.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Chappy is a little wild today.
