22? where are the roll-overs?

It was Johnny Cueto and the Cincinnati Reds last night. The talented Cueto lasted 2/3 of an inning, giving up nine runs in all, including a two-run double to Cole Hamels. By the end of the 1st, the Phils were up 10-0. The Reds never had a chance. Hamels has owned them his whole career and last night was no exception. The final score: 22-1. Shane Victorino was all over the place, with a homer, single, and double. He was robbed of the triple that would have given him the cycle when the left field ballgirl fielded the ball that would have put him on third. You had to feel sorry for her but really you had to feel sorrier for Shane.

It would be great to roll some of those unneeded runs over to games to follow.
