Sager was permitted to ease through the bottom of the first but HAL took his revenge in a big way one frame later.   The fiasco began with nobody on base and -- what else? -- 2 outs.  The critical play was a timely x-play hit to our worst fielder, with a sub-.100 hitting pitcher at bat.  Naturally he blew it and the inning unraveled from there, capped by a Grand Slam (from the same player who had such a remarkably fortunate gopher-iffic day in game 2) plating the last 4 of SIX unearned runs in the inning.   There was little action for the remainder of the day though the Reds did not lack for scoring chances.  A comeback from an 8-2 score with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th was rather unlikely, but HAL fittingly ended the series by having the last Cincy batter roll yet another $ choke.   Sager was hardly effective (4 IP, 9 baserunners) but allowed not a single earned run, while Brian Keyser's 4 inning mop-up relief stint was mundane aside from a -- you guessed it -- 2-out run-scoring rally in the 8th and some completely self-inflicted damage in the 7th (free pass, free pass, wild pitch, wild pitch) so 7 CHN runs were served up on a silver platter while the Reds lost by 6.   Alan
