Hall flies out and Weeks K's.
Hall flies out and Weeks K's.
Kendall flies out. So Arroyo finishes by allowing five earned runs in six innings but it could have been better with some defense behind him.
I missed a few atbats in the 5th inning but I only remember just a few hard hit balls off Arroyo all day. The Brewers have six hits. Braun hit a slow roller that somehow made it past Phillips. Hardy had an infield single that Phillips took forever to get out of his glove. Counsell had a line drive single and Fielder hit two rockets but that's the only hard hit balls I remember.
Patterson grounds out
Richar doubles
Hanigan and Castillo ground out. 6-1 Brewers after six innings.
Herrera in to pitch the 7th.
Escobar grounds out. Cameron gets HBP.
And now Counsell gets HBP.
Herrera is getting squeezed. He threw two perfect pitches on the corner to Braun and both were called balls.
Bruce not in lineup on Sunday
Outfielder day-to-day after being hit on hand Saturday
By Justice B. Hill / MLB.com
CINCINNATI -- Manager Dusty Baker decided not to pencil rookie Jay Bruce's name into the Reds' starting lineup Sunday in the series finale with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Bruce had started the game Saturday, which the Reds won, 4-3. But he left early after getting hit on his right hand by a pitch in the fourth inning. X-rays taken later were negative, and he was listed as day-to-day.
Still, Baker chose not to start Bruce.
"I don't care what kind of treatment you take, you're going to be sore," Baker said. "I'm glad nothing's broken."

Braun grounds out. That may have been a doubleplay if Herrera fields it cleanly.
Herrera made Fielder look foolish. He got him to chase three straight nasty sliders down and away. I think Herrera's got a chance to be a solid big leaguer if utilized properly, i.e., not using him two or three innings at a time.
6-1 Brewers after seven innings.
Majewski in to pitch the 8th inning. Hardy hits a groundball down the line for a double and advances to third on an error by Cabrera. The left side strikes again.
Hart sac fly makes it 7-1.
