The Good
–After struggling his last time out, Amir Garrett returned to form today with an outstanding start against the Buccos: 7 innings, two runs allowed on two hits (both home runs).
–The Reds were down 2-0 until the bottom of the sixth. Billy Hamilton reached on an error, then promptly stole second — his third stolen base of the night, and 13th of the season, tops in the league. After Joey Votto walked, Adam Duvall busted his 8th home run of the season, and the Reds had a 3-2 lead.
–In the bottom of the tenth, Tucker Barnhart drew a one-out walk, and Arismendy Alcantara came on to pinch-run for him.
