All afternoon, Danny Salazar wound up and pitched as if this outing was like any other. Of course, Salazar had completed the throwing motion countless times in his life.

Mat Latos threw more than 64 percent of his pitches for strikes Thursday night. That’s good.

Did the Reds solve their clutch hitting conundrum? Not exactly. Was pitcher Mike Leake as crisp as he’s often been lately — even though he lasted into the ninth inning? Not exactly.

Brewers Beat Reds 2-0
July 10, 2013 by
Not only did the Reds go quietly on Tuesday night against the Brewers, they seemed to be consumed by the fog of misfortune that has rolled in of late.
