August 1st, 1973

Game two of the twin-bill will see LHP Eric Stuart make his final start of the season. The 29 year old Stuart is 5-6 with a 3.55 ERA in 20 starts. He will face fellow Lefty, Ted Slade. The 24 year old sports a 0-1 record with 17 saves and a 3.50 ERA. Slade is making his 1st start of the season as the Reds appear to be converting the minor league starting pitcher back to a starting role.... or the ran out of starting pitching.

SP Eric Stuart gives up a run on a fielders choice after back to back Singles to start the bottom of the 1st. He survives the 1st on 20 pitches but the Reds lead 1-0.

After giving up a lead off Double in the 2nd, Eric Stuart gets the next 2 outs before giving up a run scoring Single. The Reds lead 2-0 after the 2nd.

The Expos ended SP Eric Stuart's season after 5 innings, he had allowed 2 runs on 6 hits with 5 strikeouts. The bring in 26 year old RHP Carl Mathieu who is 1-0 with 4 saves, a 3.09 ERA in 11 innings this season. Mathieu is expected to be a regular with the Expos in 1974. Mathieu sits the Reds down 1-2-3, in the inning. Reds still lead 2-0.

The Expos use a PH for Carl Mathieu in the 8th and so RHP Dan Bevilacqua comes out for the bottom half to pitch. Bevilacqua is 2-2 with a 2.52 ERA in 25 innings. The 26 year old was very effective this season. He gives up a pair of hits in the inning but gets a critical double play and the Reds still lead 2-0 going into the top of the 9th.

C Nate Samms leads off with a Single. 2B Vladik Aleev strikes out looking. Samms moves to 2nd on a passed ball. SS Eric Forristall walks. 3B Gene Watkins loads the bases with his 1-out Single. CF Matt Healy fly's out to CF, but not deep enough for the slow-footed Samms. 1B Cory Carlson legs out a Single hit to the 1st baseman, Samms scores. LH hitting Juan Chapa comes in to PH for the pitcher, he lines out to 3B and the Expos lose 2-1.

Reds SP Ted Slade goes 8 innings allowing just 2 hits and striking out 4. The Expos were able to get 3 hits against RHP Erik Rooney, but it was not enough. SP Eric Stuart fell to 5-7 on the year.
