By Ryan Bramwell
CIN (14-12) 5 11 1
WAS (13-12) 2 5 2
W: Tony Cingrani (2-0)
L: Ross Detwiler (1-2)
S: Aroldis Chapman (5)
Box Score
- Tony Cingrani: 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 11 SO. Beautiful.
- The rookie is really proving himself and can say that he has now done so against a formidable lineup (1st two starts were vs. Marlins and Cubs).
- He struck out 11 Nationals! He walked only one.
- Cingrani struck out four batters in the 4th inning! A very rare feat indeed. A dropped third strike led to this outcome if you were wondering how it were possible.
- Coming off the heels of another poor outing from Mike Leake, Cingrani is making quite the case to replace him in the rotation when Johnny Cueto returns from injury.
- 3 GS, 18.0 IP, 3 ER, 12 H, 4 BB, 28 SO. 2-0, 1.50 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, .188 BAA. Astounding.
- Cozart, Votto and Bruce all notched a pair of hits
- Votto doubled (3) for the second-straight night
Back on the smiling side of the scoreboard! Now it's off to St. Louis...
