We got some runners, let's get them in!

Got something cookin'!

Dang, heck of a play by Abbott. I thought he'd beat that.

[HarryDoyle]

Needed a better at bat than that from Ortiz.

[BCF]

So many first pitch outs 

[82brewcrew82]

Not a great offensive approach again today.

[adambr2]

I finally put some money on Ortiz today feeling like he’s gotten hot with the bat and he puts up two terrible ABs to start the game.

[Bulldogboy]

Ortiz hits so many pop ups. That should be correctable. 

[HarveysWBs]

Don’t slide into first base, kids. C’mon now.

You never know, the throw might've hit Lockridge if he stays upright.

I reiterate. The best thing the MLB could do right now is either automating the strike zone or minimum a challenge system.

[kevinisaname]

OK, we got some runners last inning, let's get runs this inning...

[BCF]

Quintana has a 3.28 ERA now this year 

[adambr2]

Q seems to be laboring a bit. I don’t know if I feel great about sending him back out for the 6th against the meat of the Reds’ order, but with the long work by the pen the last couple days and the long week coming up, you have to.

[Brian]

77 pitches for Q.

[adambr2]

That should have been ball 4.

[kevinisaname]

Ump, ugh... that was a walk, then he has to swing at a ball.

[adambr2]

Appears the outside corner is open for business but the inside is not.

[adambr2]

83 pitches for Abbott. That is not going to be enough to chase him after 6.

[BCF]

Abbott has a 2.3 ERA this year now. Definitely best Reds pitcher 

[HarryDoyle]

What a play by Durbin. I thought for sure that was a double off the bat.

[umphrey]

Wow that was one of the best defensive plays I’ve seen this year 

[Craigilicious]

What a fantastic play by Durbin. I was thinking they're a charmed team but sometimes you have to make your own luck.

[RobertCrawley]

Q might get 7 today.

[HarryDoyle]

Great effort by Q today no matter what happens.
