The Reds are 10 out but the Rockies come into Cincy a whopping 22.5 games out of first place.

3 out of 4 would be nice in this series. 

Game is still 0-0 through 3 1/2 innings.

Reds 2-0 top of the fifth.

Reds get a run when Stephenson grounds into a double play with Elly scoring on the play. They pick up a 2nd run when Candelario on a throwing error by the Rockies catcher.

Outfielders providing good entertainment with several nice catches. Bats meh.

Rece Hinds with his first MLB home run extends the lead to 3-0 in the 8th.

Reds pick up a 4th run on a double by Elly scoring Benson to now led 4-0.

De La Cruz, somehow, scores from third on a comebacker to the pitcher.   5-0 Reds, still in the bottom of 8.

Espinal singles to center scoring Stephenson to make it now 6-0 with still 2 outs in the bottom of the 8th.

6-0 Reds, final.   4 hit shut out.   Nothing to sneeze at.

Reds bats finally woke up.  Hinds HR was a bomb - Wily Mo Pena territory.

Now why are you ruining the Rece Hinds moment with a Wily Mo reference? Let us dream for one day at least.

That's what I immediately thought of when I saw where the ball landed.  It was upper deck in deep left center field.  That's what I remember about Pena.  I don't really remember much else about him.

Just in Dodger pitcher Tyler Glasnow goes on the DL and has been replaced by Hunter Greene from the Reds. Congrats to Greene!
