Rays tack on another

Pena reached on a hit to start the second inning. The ball and Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips somehow came together. I’m not sure how, since there is a pillar blocking my view of first base and most of right field.

The trainer looked at Phillips, who was slow to get up. But I guess he’s OK, because he stayed in the game.

Upton forced Pena at second.

Hinske followed with a high fly down the left field line that landed in front of Adam Dunn. Either Dunn lost the ball in the sun – yes it’s sunny now – or he really is slow.

Apparently, the Reds game plan is to not let Navie beat them. The catcher walks for the second time in two innings.

That was an important AB, because it moved B.J. to third and Upton scored on Bartlett’s line drive to Dunn.

Rays 6, Reds 0

They are cheering here at the Ed. I’m not sure if it’s for the Easter Bunny, who is walking through the stands or for Guzman’s grounder to short that forced Navie at second and retired the side.
