Reds Beaten by the Snakes 10-4

Arizona jumped on Opening Day starter Aaron Harang for two runs in an 1 2/3 innings. He threw 50 pitches in his first Cactus League game.

New pitching coach, Bryan Price, picked up a flaw in his delivery.

"I need to tune up some things after pitching a certain way for so long," Harang said. "I have added six or seven inches to my stride. My hips didn't have the flexibility to do that last year."

Baker liked what he saw if not the results.

"The ball was really coming out of his hands," Baker said. "He got two strikes on almost everybody but couldn't put them away. If he keeps progressing, he will have a great year."

Offensively, Jay Bruce had a home run and a single. He is hitting .500 for the spring.

"We're going to play him a lot," Baker said. "We want to get him a lot of at bats."

Todd Frazier finished the game in leftfield. Frazier, who is a natural shortstop has been working at secondbase and thirdbase. He is trying to create versatility to allow the Reds to use his potent bat.
