CINCINNATI -- The Reds have become known for some top-end speed out of the bullpen, primarily because of premier closer Aroldis Chapman. While Chapman struck out three in his one inning of relief work, it was Jumbo Diaz who stood out from the bullpen in a 4-3 loss to the Cardinals in Wednesday's 13 inning affair.
Following Chapman in the ninth, Diaz came in to pitch a pair of scoreless innings in the 10th and 11th to help keep the Reds in the game. Diaz gave up only one walk while striking out five, using primarily his fastball.
