The game in three paragraphs:
• Right-hander Michael Lorenzen was solid in his return to starting. He went two innings, allowing one run on two hits. He walked none and struck out three. “A lot of weak contact,” Lorenzen said. “Tons of ground-ball outs. Strikeouts. That’s what I’m looking for, especially at Great American Ball Park. I threw everything I had to offer. Everything felt crisp. Fastball command is going to get a lot better. I threw my curveball multiple times, my slider multiple times, change-up a lot.
