Ronel Blanco allows two hits in eight innings and Yainer Diaz hits a three-run homer to lead Houston over Cincinnati.

Two of those walks loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth inning, chasing Petty from the ball game and insuing another long afternoon for the Reds bullpen.That's another frustarting element to Petty's start Sunday.

Each team batted around once as the Cincinnati Reds sweated out a high-scoring win that prevented a record blown lead.
