Close win
The Reds last night came away with a 4-2 victory. They still seem to be very shaky in my certin area. Specially in the hitting catagory. Micha owings had a clutch 2 rbi single inthe 7th drving in harriston and hernanzez. The only reason that owings pich hit was becuase of the lack of right handed bench prescence they had along with jay bruce being still sore. He was only able to pinch run. McDonald later added a pinch-hit triple in the ninth and scored an insurance run on Willy Taveras' sacrifice fly. I thought i was going to see the old reds when Reds closer Francisco Cordero threw a 32-pitch bottom of the ninth in which he allowed two walks, a single and a sacrifice fly. The winning run was at the plate when Kaz Matsui flied out to end the game. This was corderos 4th save of the year. Volquez piched 6 and 2/3 innings allowing 1 earned run and 3 hits. This should be a be confident booster for him. Hes needs to get on a good track for the reds to be a contention team. With him being able to produce this will be a very strong aspect for the reds this spring season.
