Charlie Morton could build off his strong start last time out, giving up four runs and only lasting four innings. The Reds were all over him in the game, pounding six hard hits and not striking out once. The bullpen came in and did a good job with the exception of Jared Hughes who had his first poor outing, giving up three runs on five hits in one inning. It was a good night to have one of those though.
The offense went back to being nonexistent, allowing Homer Bailey to throw his second career complete game (the other one being in PNC Park as well). He threw just 103 pitches to get through it. He allowed one run off the bat of Casey McGehee who pinch hit and drove in Matt Hague who singled earlier in the inning. The other two hits went to Rod Barajas and Andrew McCutchen, who tripled in the first inning.
Back under .500 again and the question is if they can find a way to beat Johnny Cueto tomorrow and get back to it before they hit the road.
