Reds' closing situation fluid with Iglesias out

DENVER -- When Raisel Iglesias went on the 10-day disabled list with a left biceps strain Tuesday, Reds interim manager Jim Riggleman said he'd use matchups to determine who would finish games when leading. That came into play during Thursday's 5-4 win over the Pirates.

Reds lefty Amir Garrett had a chance to go for a seven-out save after entering with two outs in the seventh. He faced three batters in the ninth -- all lefties -- but when Austin Meadows hit a two-run homer with one out and Pittsburgh had right-handers following, Riggleman went to Jared Hughes to get the final two outs and the save.
