Final Score: Houston 4 - Cincinnati 5

Sarasota, FL (Sports Network) - Alvin Colina went 2-for-2 with three runs batted in, as the Cincinnati Reds scored five times in the bottom of the ninth inning to top the Houston Astros in Grapefruit League play.

Juan Castro tripled and scored a run in two at-bats for the Reds. Aaron Harang gave up three runs -- two earned -- and two homers in a five-inning start. But Cincinnati's offense took him off the book, and Mike Lincoln got the win, after allowing one run in the top of the ninth.

Michael Bourn and Hunter Pence each collected two hits, including solo homers, for Houston. Brandon Backe tossed four shutout innings in the start, while striking out two. But Mike DeJean got tagged with the loss, allowing all five runs, on three walks and two hits, without recording an out.
