It wasn’t raining runs for the Reds on Tuesday night vs. the D-backs, but they didn’t need the deluge — just more than the slow trickle of offense they’ve gotten lately. After losing nine of the previous 10 games, the Reds got a much needed 3-0 victory over Arizona. In the process, they exorcised some […]
D-backs Beat Reds 2-1
July 29, 2014 by
As the Reds near the non-waiver Trade Deadline on Thursday, they’ve showed that they need more than just a bat to reverse their post-All Star break swoon. That could not have been more apparent than during a six-hit effort over 15 innings before the Reds were handed a 2-1 defeat by the D-backs at Great […]
Nationals Beat Reds 4-2
July 28, 2014 by
After the Reds’ series finale against the Nationals at Great American Ball Park on Sunday, the word “faith” was spoken several times in the Cincinnati clubhouse. And after the outcome on the field, the Reds’ faith continues to be tested. Right-hander Mat Latos gave up three runs on three hits over six innings, but Cincinnati’s […]
Brewers Sweep Reds with 5-1 Win
July 24, 2014 by
Add up the accomplishments the Reds achieved during their post-All-Star break road trip to New York and Milwaukee and the sum is zero. Zero wins in six games. A forgettable trip concluded with the Reds taking a 5-1 loss to the Brewers on Wednesday afternoon to finish a sweep at Miller Park. Combined with being […]
Brewers Beat Reds 4-3 with Walk-Off Shot
July 23, 2014 by
Obviously, the Reds want to win every game they can, but Tuesday’s effort vs. the first-place Brewers qualified as one of the rare times this season they needed to win a game. Both the want and the need went unfulfilled, however. The Brewers slugged four solo home runs, including two from Jonathan Lucroy, sending the […]
Brewers Down Reds 5-2
July 22, 2014 by
Perhaps the popup that landed between three Reds in New York on Sunday wasn’t just the end of a lost game and a bad series. It only proved to be just the beginning, as mistakes in the field came frequently during a 5-2 loss to Milwaukee on Monday, Cincinnati’s fourth in a row since the […]
Yankees Beat Reds 3-2 to Earn Sweep
July 21, 2014 by
It seemed like a popup that any of three Reds players had a good chance to catch. Yet somehow, none of them did. And that’s how the Reds got the most frustrating of conclusions to a series filled with frustration — with a 3-2 loss to the Yankees that meant a three-game sweep. “They played […]
Reds Beat Pirates 6-3, Win Series
July 14, 2014 by
With injuries mounting for the Reds this season, sound bench play carried Cincinnati in the first half. So it was fitting that in the final game before the All-Star break, a new name was added to the list of contributions by Reds reserves. Rookie Kristopher Negron delivered his first Major League home run and All-Star […]
Cubs Break Reds Streak, Win 6-4
July 11, 2014 by
The Reds lost much more than a game on Thursday afternoon in a 12-inning marathon at Great American Ball Park. They lost their starting pitcher due to knee pain and learned their starting second baseman needs surgery for a torn left thumb ligament. They were also nearly involved in a benches-clearing incident, but cooler heads […]
Reds Beat Cubs 4-1, Simon First NL Pitcher with 12 Wins
July 10, 2014 by
Win totals for pitchers don’t carry the same gravitas these days as other stats, but Reds starter Alfredo Simon has shown he has more than that on his resume this season. Simon became the first National League pitcher to reach 12 victories, and it was secured with a three-run bottom of the fifth inning that […]
