Reds lose game 1.

By: Cooper Ledford
Matt Maloney started in his 2nd MLB game, trying to get his first win. Maloney pitched 6 innings, gave up 6 hits, 4 ERs, 2 HRs, only walked 2 batters, ans struck out 5. Early in the game Billy Butler hit a solo homerun to make it 1-0, Kansas City on top. The Reds would come back in the top of the fifth to tie it up when Johnny Gomes hit a solo homerun. Sadly, that's all the Redlegs would get in the game. The bottom of the fifth DeJesus hit an RBI single to to give Kansas City a 2-1 lead. Then later in the bottom of the sixth, Callaspo hit a 2 run-homerun to make it 4-1, Kansas City. That score would be the final, sending the Reds to be 2.5 games behind 1st, and 3rd in the NL Central. Maloney loses and goes to 0-1, Hochevar goes to a 2-2 record and pitched a complete game. Watch the Reds and Bronson Arroyo tomorrow on FSN Ohio at 7:10.
