Derek Lowe was shelled for seven runs on 11 hits and a walk over five innings Monday but escaped with a no-decision in a 10-9 win over the Reds. He whiffed just two and gave up a homer to Joey Votto. Lowe had a 2.15 ERA less than a month ago, but he's predictably faded and now holds a 4.30 ERA and 1.58 WHIP for the year. He'll try for better results this weekend in Houston.
