Here comes the Reds

Troy Percival is on to pitch for the Rays in the seventh.

Andy Phillips just hit his first home run of the year, a two-run shot to left-center field.

Rays 7, Reds 4.

Ryan Freel follows with a single and steals second and third base off Percy.

Percy grunts as he throws a pair of fastballs past Jerry Gil for the second out in the inning. Jolbert Cabrera ignored the grunts and doubles to left.

Rays 7, Reds 5

The fans here at the Ed are now grunting as Percival goes into his wind up. It's kind of funny. Actually, it's very funny.

Ryan Hanigan singled to right as Cabrera scored easily.

Rays 7, Reds 6

Suddenly, we have a game.

Percy walks Andy Green, and the tying run is now at second base.

The tying run is now home. So are two more.

Valentine drilled a 2-2 pitch over the left field fence for a three-run homer and the Reds have their first lead of the game, something you weren't thinking back in the first inning when the Rays second 11 to the plate and scored five times.

Reds 9, Rays 7

Jerry Hariston flied out to right and the innings is finally over, but not before the Reds score seven times to erase a 7-2 deficit.
