The Reds veterans dressed in gray pants took on the up-and-coming in white pants on Saturday.
Travis Wood faced Drew Stubbs, Brandon Phillips and Joey Votto (see video) without incident in the first inning. Jonny Gomes led off the second inning with an opposite field home run in the second inning but that was all Wood allowed.
Logan Ondrusek struggled with control and allowed a single to Fred Lewis, who is challenging Gomes for playing time in leftfield. The White Team scored three runs to beat the veteran loaded Gray Team 4-1.
The pitchers are ahead of the hitters. Jerry Gil, the converted outfielder and Matt Klinker threw very well in the game.
The regulars had just one at bat and left the game that lasted five innings. It was informal and an inning would end when the pitcher reached his pitch count limit.
