Reds Fan Since 1971
Hanigan collects the first hit of the game, a double, but Janish leaves him stranded at 2B. 0-0 entering the bottom of the second. One consolation: Reds batters working Zimmerman hard. The Nats SP has thrown 40 pitches after 2 IP.
Arroyo strikes out Gomes to retire the Nats in the second. Nats do collect their first hit, a single by Espinosa. Still 0-0.
Reds threatening with Phillips at 2nd and Votto at 1st after both singled against Zimmerman. The threat ends as Bruce grounds out to the pitcher. Still knotted 0-0.
Arroyo surrenders a single to the Nats pitcher Zimmerman but otherwise escapes the third inning unscathed. Still 0-0 with Cairo, Stubbs and Hanigan due up for the Reds.
Cairo takes one for the team, reaching 1B after being HBP.
"Just wait 'til next year" chat is open!
Hanigan collects his second hit of the game, a single, to advance Cairo to 3B.
Janish...
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Another threat put down when Janish grounds into a DP. On to the Nats with the game tied 0-0 in the fourth.
The Nats fail to capitalize after Arroyo gives up his third hit, a single, to the other Zimmerman, the Nats' 3B. Still 0-0 entering the 5th in what's shaping up, improbably, as a a pitchers' duel.
Phillips making the leadoff experiment look like a stroke of genius, reaching 1B for the third straight time this game on a single, following an earlier single and walk.
Gomes with a running catch on a Votto line, crashing into the wall.
The wall appears to be Ok.

Same old story. Reds strand Phillips. Gomes up for the Nats in a scoreless game.
Reds will likely get shut out tonight. This team can't score to save its life.
