Reds Win the Suspended Game 1-0

The Reds wasted little time in scoring the first and last run of game that was suspended in the ninth inning Tuesday night.

Phillipe Aumont warmed Tuesday night on the Great American Ball Park mound but heavy rains forced a halt to the game.  After 44 minutes it was agreed that the game would be suspended.  At one time, the game would have been replayed in its entirety.

Zack Cozart was effectively on-deck for over 18 hours.

He singled to left centerfield on a 3-2 pitch.  Joey Votto walked.  It extended his on-base streak to 14 games. Brandon Phillips hit a fly to left centerfield.  Ben Revere, who robbed the Reds twice on Monday night with great catches in the outfield, lost the ball in the sun.  The error filled the bases.  Jay Bruce ended the game on the first pitch he saw, lining it to rightfield for a single.

"It was good to get that one out of the way," Bruce said. "I hope it sets the tone for the next game."

Aumont took the loss.  Aroldis Chapman gets credit for the win, even though he hasn't thrown a single pitch on Wednesday.  Chapman is 2-0.

The Reds are insured of taking the series from the Phillies with its second straight victory.  The Reds are now 7-7 on the season.
