Reds Route Astros 8-2 in Opener: Geronimo Blasts 2 HR's
"And this one belongs to the Reds..."
Gary Nolan went the distance Sunday afternoon as the Reds thumped the Houston Astros 8-2 in game one of a doubleheader. Nolan scattered seven hits, gave up 2 earned runes, walked none, and struck out two over the course of the 9 innings. In four starts this season the 26 year-old righty is 2-0 with a 0.93 ERA in 29 innings pitched. Nolan received a lot of backing Sunday thanks in large part to the production of new temporary leadoff man, Cesar Geronimo. Geronimo blasted his first two homers on the season, driving in a total of four runs to help improve the Reds record to 9-4.
