No "e" on Bourn

[CincyRedsFan30]

Pence K's on a breaking ball. Nice pitch there. 1 out.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Thanks for the correction on Bourn....I hurried to type the lineups as they read them on TV.

Double steal leads to runners at 2B and 3B with 1 out for Lee.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Lee walks on a 3-2 pitch. Volquez with incredible accuracy as always so far

[CincyRedsFan30]

Reds killer Bill Hall K's swinging. 2 outs.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Wallace walks to force in a run. 1-0 Astros. Bases still loaded.

Volquez has already exceeded 30 pitches.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Johnson singles. 3-0 Astros.

This team needs to consider what to do with Volquez soon if this keeps up, espeically with Cueto and Bailey's returns nearing.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Towles singles. 4-0 Astros. Brutal.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Reds bullpen already getting ready.

Figueroa reaches on an infield single to 3B. Bases loaded again for the Astros. Already 4-0 and could be more soon.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Maloney up in the pen for the Reds. Volquez already guaranteed not to have a "quality start." Every other Reds start had one the first time through the rotation other than Volquez.

Bourn K's on pitch 44 of the inning.

Astros 4, Reds coming up.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Stubbs flies out to RF. Great running catch by Pence in foul ground. 1 out.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Phillips doubles into the RF corner with 1 out.
