Everyone in this game was a big pile of “fine,” really. Sal Romano’s start wasn’t good, but considering how it started, it worked out. The Reds got something like 9* infield hits in the 4th inning, and helped by 12* or so Brewer errors. All of that helped get the Reds as many runs as they had. The relievers weren’t really all that good on the whole.
Then came Scooter. He hit a sac fly that scored a run and also managed a weird, soft, up the middle grounder that scored a run. But after normally reliable David Hernandez and Raisel Iglesias coughed up the lead in the 8th, and the Reds were down to their final out in the 9th.
