In a game they needed to win over the Brewers to get a series victory that was pretty paramount, the Reds didn’t wait around for one guy to pick them up and carry the load. Sunday’s 13-4 pounding of Milwaukee at Miller Park showed what a Reds offense with all of its components is capable […]

Red Sox Beat Indians 5-2
June 13, 2014 by
The percentages do not always prevail. At a critical juncture in Thursday’s game against the Red Sox, with first base open and the Indians trying to claw their way back into the ballgame, starter Josh Tomlin decided to go after slugger David Ortiz. History said Tomlin had the advantage. Ortiz’s bat said he was due. […]
Reds Beat Dodgers 4-1
June 13, 2014 by
Back in Spring Training, the Reds tabbed reliever Alfredo Simon to step into the rotation when Mat Latos was injured. It seemed, at first, as though Simon’s assignment was temporary. As it would happen, Latos had a couple of setbacks and Simon thrived as a starter. Once Latos is finally activated on Saturday, as expected, […]

Royals Down Indians 9-5
June 11, 2014 by
Corey Kluber approached the mound in the third inning looking poised and confident. There was reason to be — he had just disposed of the Royals in the first two innings using just 17 pitches, and the Indians ace dealing did not bode well for Kansas City and its hapless offense. But after a few […]
Dodgers Beat Reds 6-1
June 11, 2014 by
Tuesday was the second of a 20-game stretch where the Reds play teams with above-.500 records 14 times. It also marked the return of Joey Votto from the disabled list and the first time the offense has been theoretically at full strength all season. This would be as good a time as any for the […]
