The only demerits for Reds starter Scott Feldman were the two homers, but they were enough to do him in. Feldman finished the night after five innings and 88 pitches. Reds pitchers mostly kept things under control after Valaika's home run, at one point retiring 11 consecutive Rockies.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Oh, Oberg: The Reds nearly came back in the sixth inning thanks to some poor Rockies defense, but they weren't able to capitalize. Joey Votto led off the frame with an infield hit, reaching base after Mark Reynolds bobbled his grounder and Gray overran first base trying to cover it.
