Cincinnati would increse their lead in the 3rd, when Joey Votto hit an RBI triple that scored Phillips, it was 2-0. The Reds would get 4 runs in the 4th. The first three were all scored in one play, that was when Brandon Phillips hit a pop-up to right field, but Bourn and Pence were both going at the ball, and neither outfielder was able to make the catch, it was an error on Hunter Pence, it was 5-0 with the Redlegs on top. Cincy would grab a 6-0 lead when Scott Rolen hit an RBI double that scored Phillips from second.
Houston would get on the board in the 5th when Quintero hit an RBI ground out, which scored Feliz, it was 6-1. the Astros would score three runs in the bottom of the 9th.
