The Reds were spotted a nice lead by the striped socks of Anthony Reyes but weren't interested in scoring any more runs after his exit. To make sure no one's feelings were hurt, after allowing a first inning bomb to Hamilton, the Reds brought in Guardado to face Ankiel with the bases loaded in the 6th. Everyday Eddie, of course, gave up the grand slam. St. Louis' heart was warmed. Eddie is just so solid out of the bullpen. But Majewski's inability to retire So Taguchi didn't help either.Tom Shearn wasn't awful, but not particularly impressive either, going only four and a third. Looks like he's going to have to go back to sleeping in the equipment shed. On a more positive note, that inside- the-parker by Encarnacion was pretty sweet, with Duncan ramming his face into the fence. And Griffey decided to forego his trademark walk to first base and legged out his first triple of the season. He's an exciting player. Phil Dumatrait back up to make the start today. He should shoot for "not god awful." I'm sure everyone would consider that a success.
