After Saturday, the Reds were tied for last in the Majors in run production with 28, and one might have wondered if this meant lean times were ahead offensively. How about now? In the three games since, Cincinnati has almost doubled its season output. Tuesday’s 7-5 Reds victory over the Pirates came via a season-high […]
Reds, Pirates Home Run Spree Suspended for Rain
April 15, 2014 by
As it rained hard on Monday night, baseballs were hit harder while leads and a record were both washed away at Great American Ball Park. One important item that was missing from a nutty game played between the Reds and Pirates was a final score. Even with a combined 10 home runs, a stadium record, […]
Reds Beat Rays 12-4
April 14, 2014 by
The Reds lineup found its way out of the barren wilderness it had been in of late, and the hitters could enjoy the moment on Sunday afternoon. It wasn’t just that the Reds put together some big hits and home runs for a 12-4 win over the Rays that avoided a three-game sweep. It was […]
Reds Beat Cardinals 4-0
April 10, 2014 by
Until Wednesday, Billy Hamilton seemed like a high-performance sports car that hadn’t been taken out of the garage yet. Through the first stretch of games, Hamilton either rarely reached base safely or was hurt and unable to play. For quite a while after the 4-0 Reds win over the Cardinals, many will probably be talking […]
Cardinals Beat Reds 7-5
April 9, 2014 by
Reds manager Bryan Price has only two hands and 10 fingers. Just when it seemed Tuesday that one leak was stopped when the offense perked up, Price saw two more drips spring on the club with its pitching and defense vs. the Cardinals. This 7-5 Reds loss to St. Louis at Busch Stadium proved extra […]
Cardinals Beat Reds 5-3
April 8, 2014 by
The Major League season is certainly a marathon, but the Reds are barely away from the starting line and have already seen their course littered with empty rallies and lost opportunity. Pushing runs in during clutch time has already eluded the Reds early and often, and Monday’s 5-3 defeat to the Cardinals for a 2-5 […]
Reds Beat Mets 2-1 to Avoid Sweep
April 7, 2014 by
A reliever turned temporary starting pitcher for the Reds, Alfredo Simon is the caretaker of the fifth spot in the rotation until Mat Latos can return in a couple of weeks. Simon, who hadn’t started in the regular season since 2011 with the Orioles, did more than just eat innings or pitch well enough on […]
Cardinals Beat Reds 7-6
April 4, 2014 by
The length of the Reds series’ finale with the Cardinals was nearly four hours, and fell only a minute shy of the rain delay that preceded it. It made it all the more difficult to come away empty. There would be no game win, and no series win as the Reds came away all wet […]
Reds Beat Cardinals 1-0
April 3, 2014 by
For all of the offense the Reds and Cardinals can boast in their respective lineups, the first two games of the 2014 season have been all about pitching, resulting in a pair of 1-0 contests. Including Wednesday’s 1-0 walk-off Reds win on a Chris Heisey pinch-hit single with the bases loaded in the bottom of […]
Reds Fall to Cardinals 1-0 to Open Season
April 2, 2014 by
It would be too simple to say the difference between new Reds manager Bryan Price notching career loss No. 1 before his first victory vs. the Cardinals was because of a Yadier Molina home run. Sure, Molina’s seventh-inning long ball off of Johnny Cueto was the lone run in a 1-0 Reds defeat to St. […]
