BengalszoneBilly Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 Thanks for starting up the thread TDB.Yeah, we suck right now.Well the Reds didn't suck today!Reds rally in ninth for 3-2 win over AstrosBy JOE KAY, AP Baseball WriterCINCINNATI (AP)—All the Reds had to show for a long, cold afternoon was one hit heading into their final at-bat. Five batters later, they were celebrating on the infield.Jay Bruce(notes) pulled a double just inside first base, completing Cincinnati’s three-run rally off closer Brandon Lyon in the ninth inning Wednesday for a 3-2 victory over the Houston Astros that left everyone stunned.“It’s hard to believe we had one hit and came back to win,” said Chris Heisey, who singled during the rally.Lyon (3-2) came on to try to finish off the one-hitter, but failed to retire any of the five batters he faced while blowing a save for the fourth time in eight chances. It started badly—he walked Drew Stubbs on four pitches. Then, it got worse with each batter.Heisey and Joey Votto singled to bring Stubbs home, and Brandon Phillips tied it with another single to the opposite field. Bruce then pulled a pitch down the line for Cincinnati’s third game-ending hit of the season. Quote
Stripes Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Posted May 5, 2011 It's great to steal a win while we're sucking so terribly hard. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 I'll give you that one.Here's another. It's nice to see Bruce actually drive in a run with runners in scoring position for a change. Quote
semiotter Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 Nice carry over win today from yesterdays ninth inning comeback Win. Go Reds!!!! Quote
Stripes Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Posted May 6, 2011 Keep doing that.Great to see Homer Bailey pitch so well in his return start. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 Nice carry over win today from yesterdays ninth inning comeback Win. Go Reds!!!!Looks like some momentum carried over from the previous game! You have to take two out of three in a series like this. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 I was hoping Bailey would infuse some life into the team with his return.Amazing what a team can do when their not expected to dig their way out of a 5-0 hole in the first inning. Quote
