好的開始,Reds 拿下了開幕序列戰,今天牛棚表現出色,把勝利給拿下來.
當然打線復甦幫助不小.在關鍵的第七局分出了高下,
1. Scott Hatteberg single.
2. Alex Gonzales out on a sacrifice bunt, Hatterberg to 2ed base.
3. PH Javier Valentin grounds out, Hatterberg to 3rd base.
4. PH Jeff Conine single and drives in a run. (The game is TIED).
5. Ryan Freel walks, Conine to 2ed base.
6. Cubs pitching changes, Will Ohman replaces Bob Howay.
7. WILD PITCH by Ohman, runners advance to 2ed and 3rd bases.
8. While Adam Dunn walks by Ohman, passed ball by catcher Michael Barrett. Jeff Conine score (Reds take the lead, WOO-HOO, Freel to 3rd base, Adam Dunn to 2ed (我想Lou應該在牛棚抓狂了,因為免費讓Dunn推進到二壘,捕手完全沒注意到Dunn往前推進)

That's it, 第七局這兩分,讓Reds超前,第八局Hatteberg兩分全壘打把差距拉開,第九局 Stormy Weather 1SO, 1 Ground out, and 1 Fly out. David Weather 拿下本季第一個救援.

Other stuff,
1. Weather got the first save of this season.
2. Victor Santos still has the perfect 2007. 春訓加這兩場比賽, 他的ERA還是0.00. 而且這兩場比賽都是在救火的情況上場,都成功的讓壘上的跑者殘壘. He is hot right now. 今天他並拿下勝投.
3. Josh Hamilton表定先發中外野手,但是因flu-like Sympotom,所以沒上場.
4. Kyle Lohse,投6 1/3局,失兩分,Quality Start.
5. Dunn and Griffey各有一次失誤.
