CINCINNATI, May 5 (UPI) -- Ryan Hanigan drove in three runs and Jay Bruce scored three times Thursday in helping the Cincinnati Reds to a 10-4 victory over the Houston Astros.
Bruce and Hanigan each had three hits in leading a 14-hit attack that resulted in Cincinnati runs in five different innings.
Reds starter Homer Bailey (1-0), just activated to make his 2011 debut, allowed one run, four hits and one walk over six innings in picking up the victory. He struck out seven.
Cincinnati did most of its damage while Houston starter Brett Meyers (1-2) was pitching, scoring six runs on nine hits and three walks in Myers' 5 2/3 innings of work.
Hanigan drove in the first Cincinnati run with a second-inning single that scored Bruce. He knocked in two more runs -- Joey Votto and Bruce -- in the fourth. The Reds made the score 4-0 in the fifth on Edgar Renteria's RBI single and got two more runs off Myers in the sixth when Paul Janish hit a sacrifice fly and Fred Leis hit his first home run of the season.
Bruce hit a solo home run in a four-run eighth inning.
Houston scored in the sixth when Hunter Pence doubled in Jason Bourgeois and got three runs in the seventh when Bourgeois walked with the bases loaded and Pence singled in two runs.
