The Good
–Joey Votto had two of the Reds six hits, and scored a run. Not a banner night for the Cincinnati offense.
–Tony Renda — making his first big-league start — made a gorgeous diving play in the fifth that prevented a run from scoring and kept the deficit at 3-1. There is no question whatsoever that Steve is correct here:
No way Brandon Phillips makes that play. Not even close. A few years ago yes. Not now.

–Tucker Barnhart doubled, extending his hitting streak to eight games.
