Reds stay aggressive with perfect suicide squeeze

HOUSTON -- There was no inclination to let up once the Reds plated a hard-earned run and took the lead in the 11th inning of Friday's 4-2 win against the Astros at Minute Maid Park.

Instead, they ratcheted up the aggression. Ramon Cabrera dropped down a flawless suicide-squeeze bunt, scoring Eugenio Suarez and doubling Cincinnati's lead with a valuable insurance run.

"It was a lot easier to squeeze there with a one-run lead than with the whole game sitting in the balance, so it was a nice add-on run, and Ramon did a great job getting the bunt down," Reds manager Bryan Price said.
