Reds Make Statement in First Exhibition Game

The Reds made a pretty impressive opening statement in their first exhibition game yesterday. They threw their three best young arms out there in the first game. The results were very good indeed:

• Volquez: 3 2 0 0 1 3 0
• Cueto: 3 0 0 0 1 3 0
• Bailey: 1 0 0 0 0 2 0

Now that's a pretty good opening salvo! Of course, it's just an exhibition game against the current American League Champions. But that had to make folks in Cincinnati feel pretty optimistic.
