Jay Bruce Ruins Strong Outing by Cubs' Ted Lilly (Highlights)

Reds manager Dusty Baker is excited for the time when both his hitters and pitchers are performing at a high level. "We hit the ball good today against a very good pitcher in [Ted] Lilly. You know we're going to hit. It's just a matter of when and hopefully our pitching continues to throw until our hitting catches on and hopefully we'll do both at the same time," said Baker. Johnny Cueto (1-1) pitched seven scoreless innings, giving up four hits and struck out three. Despite the loss, Lilly (2-1) was sharp again. He pitched seven solid innings, allowing one unearned run and five hits. He had two strikeouts and did not allow a walk.
