Homer Bailey knew all along that he would turn things around after struggling early this season.

June 6, 2014 by
Mike Leake has been pitching with neck stiffness since his May 25 start against the Cardinals.

It was important for Tony Cingrani to pitch well Wednesday night with Mat Latos’ possible return to the Reds nearing, and he was very good through the first five innings in his start against the Giants. But a two-out San Francisco rally in the sixth ended Cingrani’s evening — and the Reds’ season-best four-game winning […]

The Reds have had a search party out all season to find tangible momentum.

June 2, 2014 by
It was a road trip that began Monday with the Reds almost being on the wrong end of a perfect game.

May 30, 2014 by
The Reds know they’ve wandered into a barren offensive wilderness from which it’s getting tougher to emerge.

A lineup that beat Clayton Kershaw a night earlier and left Los Angeles euphoric was […]

May 28, 2014 by
A team strapped for meaningful and sustained offensive production is going to be hard-pressed to find any against Zack Greinke. Even when the struggling Reds did something Tuesday night that no opponent has done against the Dodgers starter since last summer — score more than two earned runs — it was still was nowhere near […]

After playing Sunday Night Baseball and flying overnight, the Reds had more than few players craving sleep on Monday afternoon. The team did not get to its Los Angeles hotel until 3 a.m. PT before opening a series vs. the Dodgers. What followed in the twilight hours was almost a waking nightmare for the Reds’ […]
Cardinals Beat Reds 4-0
May 26, 2014 by
Reds manager Bryan Price is tired of talking about tremendous pitching performances from opposing starters, and a tremendous start from one of the best pitchers in baseball was the story of the night as Cincinnati fell, 4-0, to the Cardinals at Great American Ball Park Sunday. Mike Leake was good again for the Reds, tossing […]
