The Reds' bullpen picked up after starting pitcher Frankie Montas left the game in the first inning and Cincinnati shut out the Los Angeles Angels 3-0 on Sunday to sweep the series.
“It's not the first time I've come into game in the first inning. It probably won't be my last. It's part of my job,” Suter said.“I was going to make the play regardless. I told myself get him out,” Montas said."I couldn't feel my hand, nothing. It swelled up right away.“I was trying to get out of the way. It didn't give me time,” he said.
The five Reds relievers pitched 8 1/3 innings and allowed just six singles. The Reds infield turned in two double plays, including a stellar stop by “It was a day of just stepping up and helping each other out,” Reds manager David Bell said. “As soon as it happened to Frankie we said what do we do to get this done. We saw it as a challenge. It was an amazing job by the bullpen.”"It shouldn’t present a challenge," Angels manager Ron Washington said. “We know Suter, and he came in and we didn’t do very much with him. And that, Cruz. We know exactly what he does. So it wasn’t no issue. We just didn’t supply anything offensively today.
Soriano finished with three unearned runs on three hits in six innings, a career high, and struck out a career-high seven batters.

Barley Risotto and Kimchi: A Culinary CrossroadsThe Los Angeles Angels, who boast a combination of veteran hitters and a pair of promising 23-and-under players, are starting to gain steam.

The Angels since have won both of their games, and they will go for a third straight victory on Tuesday evening when they continue their three-game series against the host Miami Marlins. Los Angeles' youth movement includes first baseman Nolan Schanuel, 22, and shortstop Zach Neto, 23. Both of them are former Angels first-round picks. Both also have South Florida connections, making this series a homecoming for them. Neto was born in Miami, and Schanuel was born in nearby Boca Raton and starred at Florida Atlantic.
