Reds bats emerged from a recent funk Monday against a Brewers team it previously hit hard only a week ago in Milwaukee. Cincinnati chased starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson early but held off a ninth-inning rally to get a 9-6 victory in the three-game series opener at Great American Ball Park. The Reds sent nine men […]
Cubs beat Reds 5-2
Big hits from Miguel Montero and Addison Russell were enough to lift the Cubs to a 5-2 victory over the Reds on Sunday at Great American Ball Park. Chicago took both games of the rain-shortened series. The Cubs took a 1-0 lead with one out in the second inning against Anthony DeSclafani when Montero hit […]
Brewers beat Reds 4-2
Jean Segura delivered the clutch hit the Brewers have so badly needed, a two-out RBI single in the seventh inning that sent Milwaukee to a 4-2 win over Cincinnati on Thursday at Miller Park. Adam Lind and Aramis Ramirez hit solo home runs, but the Brewers needed Segura’s single off Reds reliever Kevin Gregg to […]
Reds beat Brewers 2-1
There were no offensive fireworks at Miller Park on Wednesday night. Johnny Cueto and Jimmy Nelson made sure of that. Cueto, the Reds’ ace, and Nelson, the Brewers’ No. 5 starter who has pitched far above his standing, surrendered a run apiece before settling into a classic pitchers’ duel for eight innings that was settled […]
Reds beat Brewers 16-10 highlighted by three grand slams
The Brewers finally had a big night at the plate. They just happened to do it while the Reds played home run derby. About 24 hours after matching their season high with six runs in a series-opening victory, the Reds more than doubled that total by the sixth inning of a 16-10 win over the […]
Reds whip Brewers 6-1
Zack Cozart’s three-run home run capped a four-run rally in the sixth inning, Joey Votto added a two-run shot in the seventh, and Anthony DeSclafani pitched an eight-inning gem to give the Reds a 6-1 win Monday night over the Brewers. The Reds entered the night 12th of 15 NL teams in runs and on-base […]
Cardinals beat Reds 2-1 to complete sweep
A half-inning after the Reds squandered a bases-loaded opportunity against Adam Wainwright, the Cardinals capitalized on a leadoff double by Jon Jay in the eighth to break a tie and position themselves for a series-sweeping 2-1 win at Busch Stadium on Sunday night. Kolten Wong’s one-out sacrifice fly was plenty deep to score Jay, who […]
Cubs shutout Reds 5-0 to win series
Anthony Rizzo belted a two-run homer, his first of the season, in the first inning to back Travis Wood and lead the Cubs to a 5-0 victory Wednesday over the Reds and take the series. Wood gave up three hits over seven-plus innings, retiring the first 10 batters faced before he walked Joey Votto with […]
Reds beat Cubs 3-2
Anthony DeSclafani threw seven shutout innings to outduel Jake Arrieta and lead the Reds to a 3-2 victory Tuesday night over the Cubs to even the series. Joey Votto, Jay Bruce and Marlon Byrd each hit RBI singles in the fourth, which was all DeSclafani needed. Making his seventh career start, the right-hander gave up […]
Cubs beat Reds 7-6 in 10 innings
Reds manager Bryan Price is trying to find the right bullpen chemistry in the late innings, but he’s discovering just how combustible his elements are. Eighth-inning leads seems to be particularly flammable. For the second-straight day, Jumbo Diaz blew a two-run lead in the eighth within his first two batters. In Monday’s 7-6 loss to […]
