Tony Cingrani took down the Nationals, striking out 11 batters in six innings with just one walk to earn a short shutout. The Reds went on to a 5-2 victory to avoid the four-game sweep. Cingrani’s 11 K included a four strikeout inning, and he has accumulated 28 K in just 18 innings, walking four. So far, so good for the Reds’s youngster.
