Reds down 1-0 in the bottom of the third. Gonzalez struck out 5 Reds in his two innings of work without walking anyone or giving up a hit.

Leake went 1-2-3 in his first inning of work, but then gave up a run in the bottom of the 2nd due to a couple of hits and a walk.

Reds still do not have a base runner through the 3rd inning as Brett Anderson goes 1-2-3 with Cairo-Valaika-Corky.

[Edd Roush]

Jordan Smith in to pitch the third. He gives up a hit to Daric Barton but it does no harm as he gets the other three guys out.

A lot of first pitch swingers in these early games as Smith only throws a total of 4 pitches to the 4 guys he faces.

[New Fever]

Gomes just hit a 2 run homer.

[_Sir_Charles_]

So did Yonder. 2 run shot. 4-1 Redlegs :jump:

[Edd Roush]

Reds decide to get to work against LHP Brett Anderson in the top of the fourth.

Stubbs out looking at strikes, followed up by a Renteria double, Gomes aforementioned bomb, Rolen popped up to first, Bruce lined a single to center, Yonder knocked a homer, and the Cairo continued the hit parade with a single, followed by a Valaika single.

[Edd Roush]

Corky ends the fourth with a liner to center.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Frazier playing first base now.
