The good news for the Reds is that rookie Travis Wood has been very effective in relief of Edinson Volquez. Since inheriting Volquez's jam in the second, Wood has retired seven of the nine batters he's faced, with one of them drawing an intentional walk. Wood has two strikeouts and 21 strikes thrown out of 31 non-IBB pitches.
Here's the problem: Roy Halladay looks as good as he's ever looked. Halladay's line through four innings:
0 H
0 BB
3 K
81% strikes
He's hitting every spot and missing every fat part of every bat, and the focus for the Reds right now can't be trying to score a run - the focus should probably be on getting someone on base. Thus far, Halladay looks impossible.
