Former Arkansas pitcher Mike Bolsinger (1-1) allowed two runs and three hits in 5 2/3 innings of a spot start, having been brought back from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday in place of injured Chin-hui Tsao, who went on the 15-day disabled list. Bolsinger struck out six and walked one.

"I feel like I got over the hump," Bolsinger said. "Everything was working. Getting ahead of batters was priority number one."

The Reds lost their season-high ninth in a row.

Former Arkansas State pitcher Daniel Wright (0-1) made his major league debut, giving up four runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. The right-hander struck out four and walked one after coming up from Triple A-Louisville to start in place of Tim Adleman, who strained his left oblique against Cleveland last week. He gave up three straight singles to open the game.

"I was definitely a little bit anxious to get out there. First inning was a little bit fast for me but I was able to settle down," he said. "I wish I could have gone a little bit longer but it is good to get my feet wet."
