Two hits

CIN 3  SF 0

The Reds neatly tag-teamed the Giants tonight, with starter Wade Miley handcuffing the lineup for five frames, and reliever Tejay Antone following with a hitless 3-2/3 IP. Lucas Sims came in to get the last guy, but the 1-2 punch was enough for a TKO. Aaron Sanchez did a credible job, allowing a two-run homer to Jesse Winker in his five innings, and certainly would have continued if not being lifted for a pinch-hitter. Jarlin Garcia gave up a solo shot to Joey Votto in his 2-1/3, and Matt Wisler finished the 8th with two strikeouts. Jose Alvarez had a 1-2-3 9th. The pitchers kept it close but the hitters could not get anything going. Austin Slater had two walks, Buster Posey and Donovan Solano had a hit apiece.

Kevin Gausman goes tomorrow night, 6:45 Pacific.

Go Giants!
