Astros 6 Reds 2

The Cincinnati Reds had no answer for great pitching and a grand slam Tuesday night as they fell 6-2 to the Houston Astros.  The Reds managed just 7 hits against Houston start Brian Moehler who came within one out of a complete game.  Cincinnati starter Bronson Arroyo surrendered a grand slam to Carlos Lee in the 5th inning that seemed to deplete the Reds.  Arroyo was hit with his 8th loss of the season as he gave up 8 hits and 6 runs through 6 1/3. Arroyo did have one of the Reds RBI's, as Brandon Phillips had the other.  Jeff Keppinger had two hits on the night as Cincinnati dropped to eight games under .500.  The Reds will look to avoid a sweep Wednesday night when they take on the Astros in the series finale.
