Reds Win, 8-5, Versus Texas
The timely hitting of Diory Paulino helped the Cincinnati Reds down the Texas Rangers, 8-5. Paulino went 1-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 for the Reds. Cincinnati pitcher Julius Taylor earned the win, hiking his record to 2-0. Jesus Arroyo suffered the loss. The save went to Shane Broyles, number 1 for him.

The Rangers had been locked in a 5-5 tie with the Reds going into the bottom of the eighth inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old first baseman Jake Bauers came to the plate. Bauers hit a run-scoring double on a 1-1 fastball from Texas hurler Jesus Arroyo. It was Bauers's 1st double of the year.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Bauers said.

Cincinnati is off to a hot start at 4-2.
