Somewhere in Chicago during Thursday’s off-day after 20 games in 20 days, the Reds will need to find a recharging station for their bats. Wednesday’s 4-2 defeat vs. the Cardinals marked the 13th time in 29 games this season that the Reds were held to two runs or fewer. It has happened in five of […]
Clippers Beat Red Sox 6-5 in 15 Innings
It took fifteen long innings, but it was worth the wait as Columbus beat the Pawtucket Red Sox 6-5 at McCoy Stadium. From the get-go, Pawtucket had the bats working. Jose Iglesias scored on a Bryce Brentz RBI groundout to start the scoring. Brandon Snyder then added to the Red Sox lead with an RBI […]
Indians Smash Phillies 14-2
Rumors of the demise of the Indians’ offense were greatly exaggerated. Only a handful of games ago, Cleveland was scratching and clawing in an effort to find home plate. Things have changed in a hurry for the suddenly potent Tribe. The Indians launched seven home runs, beat up on Phillies starter Roy Halladay and cruised […]
Cardinals Beat Reds 2-1
It was a DIY-type of night for Bronson Arroyo at Busch Stadium on Tuesday. The offense did little to support Arroyo’s well-pitched outing in a 2-1 loss to the Cardinals that hinged on Matt Holliday’s two-run homer in the sixth inning. Even if Cincinnati had provided a tad more octane vs. lefty Jaime Garcia, neither […]
Clippers Fall to Pawtucket 5-1
The Clippers had a hard time getting anything going with the bats as they fell 5-1 to the Pawtucket Red Sox at McCoy Stadium. Originally, Trevor Bauer was supposed to get the start on the mound for the Clippers. Unfortunately, he was a late scratch for the game so Columbus opted to go with Japanese […]
Indians Crush Royals 9-0
Indians starter Ubaldo Jimenez came out of hiding on Monday night. Cleveland can only hope it can finally send the search party home for good. Jimenez turned in his strongest outing of the season — arguably one of his best efforts as a member of the Tribe — to help the Indians cruise to an […]
Reds Edge Cardinals 2-1
Throughout his brief big league career, Mat Latos might have wondered how good his seasons could have been had the month of April never existed on the baseball schedule. But April 2013 has seen those dark clouds break, as Latos finished the month with 17 straight scoreless innings. That included six hard-fought zeros on Monday […]
Clippers Beat Pawtucket 6-5
A day after blowing a late game lead, Columbus was able to hold on as they defeated the Pawtucket Red Sox 6-5 at McCoy Stadium. The Clippers would strike first with the bats in the top of the second. Catcher Omir Santos drove home a run with an RBI single. That was then followed by […]
Indians Split Double-Header with Royals
It was one of the Indians’ first moves of the offseason and it mostly flew under the radar. In an early November swap, Cleveland reeled in infielder Mike Aviles and catcher Yan Gomes from the Blue Jays in exchange for reliever Esmil Rogers. On Sunday night, Aviles and Gomes both played a key role in […]
Reds Beat Nationals 5-2 to Avoid Sweep
Reds rookie pitcher Tony Cingrani had one of those days where everything just seemed to work perfectly for him. Cingrani set a career high with 11 strikeouts, including four in an inning, and the Reds avoided a four-game sweep with a 5-2 victory over the Nationals on Sunday. Cingrani, who was making just his third […]
