“That’s just how competitive he is”, Bochy said. “I don’t think there’s an option that’s going to make the staff better”. There’s the chance of (injuring) the thigh or knee there. “But the way that thing broke off, he looked like Herman Munster up there”. “No premeditation there. Go with what you feel”. It is what it is.
Aaron Nola threw seven innings and Ryan Howard homered to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 1-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.

What will the Giants remember the most?
“It’s a challenge for the guys in the bullpen”, Bryan Price said.
It could’ve been a bigger inning had Brandon Belt not been thrown out trying for a double for the second out.
“He couldn’t stop it in the second”, Bochy said. He is 0-5 in his last nine starts against them.
Eugenio Suarez went 3-for-4 for the Reds, with 3 RBI.
Starting pitching report: The four-homer game was the third of Peavy’s career.
The Reds sent 11 batters to the plate for six runs in the third.
Joey Votto hit a three-run homer as the Reds piled up six runs in the third inning off Cueto, who got a warm welcome from his former teammates and fans before the game. Lamb had back surgery in December and had made three minor league rehab starts.
With the game tied 1-1, Kelby Tomlinson drove in the go-ahead run with an infield single off Caleb Cotham (0-1).
Cueto threw 46 pitches during the inning, the most since he threw 49 in the first inning against Philadelphia on June 6, 2009.
“I’m surprised you haven’t asked me about that already, because of how few runs Buster and I have driven in”, Crawford said to reporters. “I wanted to let the bullpen to be used the way it was designed and not get over worked”. “I had no issues with my back”. “We were pounding the zone”. “I felt normal. There’s nothing I could do”.
Scheduled starter Jon Moscot is still having soreness in his non-throwing shoulder.

It’s all fun and games until someone snaps a bat. Cincinnati also optioned RHP Drew Hayes to Triple-A on Tuesday. I haven t seen Angel Pagan yet to find out if his left hamstring is better or worse a day after he pulled up lame while rounding first base Sunday.
