The Reds only had 2 hits offensively so I’ll spare you the gruesome details of the hitting effort. Sam Lecure didn’t have a better night on the mound. Lecure gave up 5 runs on 4 hits and a walk in 1.2 innings pitched. A positive note, Lecure struck out 3 of the 5 outs he recorded!

Habelito Hernandez went 1-4, making the one hit count. Hernandez hit his 1st homerun of the season with Dayton in the 2nd inning which gave the Dragons an early 2-0 lead.
<a href="Johnny Cueto improved to 5-1 on the year by going 7 scoreless innings allowing just 2 hits while striking out 7. Cueto’s ERA is now 2.48 on the year.
Cueto!
Well, I think Votto was probably hurt by O’Brien’s take a strike policy… whatever it was he’s doing well now.
