It looks more and more like Edinson Volquez is going to start the season in the Reds rotation this year.  He gave up just a single run on five hits and a walk with five strikeouts in five very solid frames.  Don’t feel bad for Homer.  He’ll be back and he’s still going to turn out to be a stud on the mound. Francisco Cordero had a tough time in his inning of relief though.  He gave up two runs on three hits and a walk.

Adam Dunn walked three times while Corey Patterson doubled, drew a walk and scored twice.  Brandon Phillips singled twice, scored a run and drove in one.

Less then a week until the games really count.  Aaron Harang gets the start tomorrow in his final tune up before the Reds opener on Monday.  It’s a road game against the Jays.
