GAME REPORT: Reds 3, Red Sox 2
The bats: Ken Griffey Jr. got his first hit of the spring - an RBI double down the line off Pedro Martinez in the first. Adam Dunn homered for the second straight day, hitting the first pitch of the fifth inning from Curt Schilling out to right field.
The arms: Cory Lidle and Aaron Harang went three innings each. Each allowed a run. Harang struck out five and walked none. He has struck out seven and walked none in five innings this spring. Ryan Wagner, Chris Reitsma and Brian Reith each pitched a scoreless inning.
The rest: Adam Hyzdu started in right field for the Red Sox. That meant three Moeller High grads started the game - Griffey, Barry Larkin and Hyzdu, who is in Boston's camp as non-roster player.
Up next: The Reds are at home against Tampa Bay today. Left-hander Jesus Sanchez will start against Tampa Bay right-hander Victor Zambrano.
