Dan Straily was very strong in his first start with the Reds. Straily allowed a run in the second inning on an RBI groundout, but shut down the Rockies for five innings after that. He struck out the side in the fourth inning.
The Reds offense was dominated all night by Jordan Lyles. They were however able to break through in the 6th inning. Cozart singled with 2 outs, and then Jordan Pacheco doubled. Cozart was originally held up at third base, but a throwing error allowed Cozart to score to tie the game at one. Lyles didn’t allow an earned run in seven innings, and only had to throw 76 pitches.
