The Reds lost to the Colorado Rockies 10-1 in a sloppy game two of the Cactus League season.
"I got a lot of weak contact," Lorenzen said. "I got a ton of ground bglall outs. That's what you want at Great American Ball Park. I threw every thing I had to offer. Every thing felt crisp, good. My fastball command will come. I will work on it in my next bullpen."

Dilson Herrera singled and went to third when Jesse Winker hit a ground rule double. Mesoraco's sacrifice fly pur the Reds on top, early.
Cody Reed didn't have a good day. He is not being considered for the starting role but has drawn rave reviews from manager Bryan Price. Reed will either start the season at Louisville or be placed oin Cincinnati's bullpen.
Reed allowed a home run to Nolan Arenado in the third inning.
“Cody just got hit,” Price said. “You can live with that. Last year he struggled a bit with his command. Today he was on the plate with his full assortment of pitches. Things will get better for him.”
The Rockies scored four earned runs off Reed on five hits in two innings. They added another off Dylan Floro.
The Reds were sloppy on defense all day. The Reds made four errors contributing to the Rockies 13-hit offense. Ariel Hernandez and Dylan Floro threw in four walks.
Hernandez wasn't sharp in his one plus inning. He gave up four hits.
"Ariel lost his command after a really nice first inning," Price said. "He really struggled to command the ball in the second inning. It was the precursor to a big inning."
The Reds got a run in the seventh. Alex Blancino doubled and advanced to third on a single by Sebastian Elezarde. Rosell Herrara picked up on of his three RBI with a ground ball.
Rosell Herrera hit a two-run home run off Jerry Vasto in the ninth inning. It was his second in as many days.
The Reds also signed 25-year old Herrara in November.
The Rockies signed Herrera as a non-drafted free agent in 2009. He spent five seasons as an infielder before moving to the outfield. Herrera played in the 2014 Futures Game at Target Field.
Herrera hit .283 at Triple A Albuqurque last year with seven home runs in 103 games.
Non-roster outfielder was hit by a foul ball hit into the dugout by Phillip Ervin. He appeared to be hit in the jaw. Tomas Vera drove Williams off in a cart.
The 26-year old Williams signed with the Reds in November. He was a fourth round choice of the New York Yankees out of West Orange High School in Winter Garden Florida. Williams committed to play at the University of South Carolina out of high school. His father, Derwin, was a wide receiver for the New England Patriots.
“He got a cut accros his chin or his cheek,” Price said. “It looked like he will need a stitch or two. I’m hoping that’s all it is.”
