Cingrani, Ohlendorf sharing closing duties

DENVER -- One benefit of John Lamb's seven-inning start for the Reds in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Rockies was it meant the bullpen needed to get just six outs. It's a luxury manager Bryan Price hasn't had very often this season.

"That's how you win a lot of games in succession," Price said on Thursday. "Seven-inning starts and limit what your bullpen has to do. Then have fresh arms for the last six outs."

Tony Cingrani, who issued a walk and made a throwing error for an unearned run, pitched the eighth.
