Paolo Espino tossed three scoreless to start tonight’s game, as the Washington Nationals jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second of four in Cincinnati’s Great American Ball Park.
The Reds rallied in the bottom of the third, however, with Max Schrock battling and hitting a two-run shot off the Nats’ starter to get the Reds on the board, down 4-2, then a solo homer by Delino DeShields off Espino in the fifth, a solo home run by Nick Castellanos off Alberto Baldonado, and a two-run blast by Eugenio Suárez off Andres Machado in the bottom of the sixth put the home team on top, 6-4.
