Colin Rea's much-anticipated major league debut was fun for the whole family, as long as none of your relatives are Reds fans. The San Diego offense exploded for 11 runs in the first three innings and Rea did his part, limiting Cincinnati to three runs in his five innings of work.
Rea permitted the first two Reds to reach base, then induced a weak ground ball just seconds after radio team Bob Scanlan and Randy Jones requested one. He started the 1-6-3 double play, then stranded Brandon Phillips at third as Todd Frazier flied out to right.
