MIA (3-13) 1  6  2
CIN (9-7)  11 12 0

W: Tony Cingrani (1-0)
L: Jose Fernandez (0-1)

Box Score

  • Tony Cingrani made his MLB debut as a starter in the Reds rotation in place for the injured Johnny Cueto and did a terrific job. 
    • 5.0 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 8 SO, 102 pitches.
    • It had been 180 games since the Reds had rolled a left-handed starter out to the mound (Dontrelle Willis in 2011), and if they had waited just one game longer they would set a franchise record that would have dated back to the 1930's. 
  • Choo and Cozart both reached base three times apiece at the top of the order; Choo doubled (4)
  • Votto, Bruce and Frazier all reached base three times apiece as well; Frazier homered (5)
  • The Reds drew eight, count 'em, 8 walks!  ...they also struck out 11 times :(
  • The Redlegs have outscored their opponents 22-3 in the last two games!  I'll take it!
