CIncinnati Reds @ Baltimore Orioles (game 2)

With no sign of bad weather around, this game started on time and was quick - over in just 2 and a half hours.

The O's used the long ball to build a 6-0 lead, whilst Gonzalez pitched his first career complete game - and it was a shut-out too.  He had only 80 pitches through the first 7 innings and although it did get a little iffy in the 8th and the 9th innings, Buck Showalter left him in to finish it.

The crowds are disappointingly small here.  I could understand it in years gone past when Baltimore wasn't very good and were out of it, and last night's weather forecast clearly kept a lot of people away, but they are leading their division, good forecast - and still a poor crowd.
