As many eyes spy what both teams might do before today’s non-waiver Trade Deadline, the Reds produced a big offensive display for a third-straight victory in a 15-5 win over the Pirates on Thursday. Leading the way was Brandon Phillips, who hit two home runs and drove in a career-high seven RBIs. For the second […]
Reds down Cardinals 1-0 to win series
With one Jay Bruce swing providing all the support starter Anthony DeSclafani needed, the Reds snapped a skid of nine consecutive losing series at Busch Stadium with a 1-0, series-clinching victory over the Cardinals on Wednesday night. Bruce’s home run to lead off the second against John Lackey would be one of just two hits […]
Reds blank Cardinals 4-0
Making what may have been his final start for the Reds, Mike Leake dazzled in front of a collection of scouts on hand for one more evaluation before Friday’s non-waiver Trade Deadline.

Reds split double-header with Cubs
Joey Votto has long been regarded as one of baseball’s best at getting on base. During Wednesday’s day-night doubleheader vs. the Cubs, the Reds’ first baseman made it a historic feat. While going a combined 5-for-6 with four walks in the two games, Votto became the first player since Robinson Cano in 2010 to reach […]
Cubs beat Reds 5-4 in 13 innings
Local kid Kyle Schwarber put on a late-night show all on his own Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park. Schwarber, a nearby Middletown, Ohio, native, had a four-RBI game as he hit the game-tying homer in the ninth inning and the game-winning homer in the top of the 13th to lead the Cubs to […]
Reds down Cubs 5-4 with three home runs
Jay Bruce has become a trade-rumor fixture for the Reds before July 31, and his work on Monday night probably didn’t hurt his value. Bruce went 2-for-4 and his two-run home run in the sixth inning proved to be the game-winner for the Reds as they claimed a 5-4 victory over the Cubs at Great […]
