Rain kept the game from getting started on time, and when the game did get going it seemed that the teams didn’t want to get much going on offense. Or perhaps the pitching was getting it done.
The Offense
Cincinnati got on the board first when Tucker Barnhart unloaded on a fastball for a solo homer, his 11th of the season. Two innings later they’d get their second run of the game when Jose Iglesias singled off of the glove of shortstop Kevin Newman, who was drawn in. Phillip Ervin came in to score and tie the game up at 2-2.
