The Reds finally lost one, but they had their chances to win it. Myers pitched a good game for the Astros and surprisingly Lecure matched him, he left trailing 2-1.
Rolen hit a pinch hit home run to tie it up and then Masset got the ball. Casey and Brennamen were talking him up, saying how great his stuff is and how great he was/has been since last May. But, every time I see him pitch he gives up singles and an eventual run. Today was no exception
He gave up the go ahead run in the top of the 9th (3 singles in the inning) and that was all that the Astros needed to secure the win. The Reds had a little rally going in the bottom of the 9th off of a 2 out single up the middle by Phillips and an infield single by Votto. Hernandez came in to pinch hit, but he didn't get the job done.
The Reds hit the road after a 5-1 home stand. 2 series down on the young season and 2 series that the Reds won. I will take it.
Sean Casey is pretty fun to listen to, he has a great sense of humor and you can tell that he really gets into calling the game. He is an improvement over Welsh and Brantley imo.
