00:03 - Another rubber match in Cincinnati
00:05 between the Reds and the Twins.
00:06 Since he had won the opening game
00:08 of this series against Minnesota,
00:10 they had won six of their last eight
00:12 entering Tuesday's action,
00:14 but DRS, they dropped the final two of the series
00:17 and dropped a crucial game yesterday
00:19 that seemed as though they were ready to win.
00:21 Minnesota scores three runs in the top half
00:24 of the ninth inning to respond a 5-3 win over Cincinnati.
00:29 Now DRS, the Reds have dropped two straight games
00:32 in Cincinnati, a full game back
00:34 of that third and final National League wildcard spot.
00:37 - What a tough spot here.
00:38 Like I was looking to fade over.
00:39 He wasn't that bad.
00:40 Five innings, pitched two earned runs,
00:42 but I thought Green was the better pitcher
00:43 coming into the game, and he was.
00:45 He was spectacular.
00:46 Seven innings, pitched one earned run, and 14 strikeouts.
00:50 That should be good enough for a win.
00:52 That's one of those games where we talk about
00:53 where it's like, okay, we were losing the whole game,
00:55 just didn't have enough.
00:56 You can't waste great pitching performances like that,
00:58 and they wasted it.
00:59 But if there is a shining light here,
01:01 and you say, you know what, what can the Reds bank on
01:03 if they do make the playoffs?
01:04 Looks like Green has bounced back from that injury.
01:06 He was phenomenal yesterday.
