This October lasted only one day, and one game. Steamrolled in every way by the Pirates during a 6-2 defeat in the do-or-die National League Wild Card Game on Tuesday night at PNC Park, the 90-win Reds are one and done, their season is completed again sooner than expected. A somber visitors’ clubhouse reflected what’s […]
Reds Lose Regular Season Finale, Head to Wild Card
September 30, 2013 by
In the grand scheme of things, Sunday afternoon’s 4-2 loss to the Pirates didn’t mean much for the Reds. Their playoff fate already decided, the final game of the regular season was mostly about staying healthy and giving some of the lesser used players a chance to compete. But this was far from the ideal […]
Mets Beat Reds 1-0
September 26, 2013 by
The 2013 National League Central champion has yet to be decided with three games left in the regular season. Unfortunately for the Reds, they know they won’t be walking away with the title. Combined with a Cardinals win, the Reds were eliminated from the division race with a 1-0 loss to the Mets on Wednesday […]
Mets Beat Reds 4-2
September 25, 2013 by
Bad nights are going to happen and they’re never pleasant to endure. It happened for the Reds on Monday, and coming in the final week of the season with playoff scenarios still very much at stake, it was as welcome as gum on a shoe. Starting pitcher Mike Leake was chased early, and the four […]
Reds Clinch Playoffs, Beat Mets 3-2
September 24, 2013 by
The Reds now know for sure they are going to the postseason, but they have a couple of mysteries to solve before they make some final decisions. Perhaps Johnny Cueto cleared one of them up on Monday night. Cueto made a big stride in showing that he could be the pitcher that starts the club […]
Reds Beat Pirates 11-3
September 23, 2013 by
The Reds moved quickly on Sunday to put a damper on the Pirates’ regular-season home finale. Now they will spend the week trying to make sure Pittsburgh doesn’t host any postseason games at PNC Park. An 11-3 victory gave the Reds two of three games in the series and had both 89-67 teams back into […]
Reds Beat Astros 6-5 in 13 Innings
September 19, 2013 by
The Reds already had their three-game series with the Astros won with two victories before Wednesday, but that’s not quite enough when the opponent has 100 losses and you’re in a dogfight to the end for a playoff spot. It took five hours and 18 minutes, several missed chances and a few hair-whitening moments for […]
Reds Whip Astros 10-0
September 18, 2013 by
The nice round number of 100 seemed prevalent on Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park. While the Astros were trying to avoid it for another day, Reds right fielder Jay Bruce powered right to it. Part of a 10-0 Reds thumping of Houston, Bruce notched five RBIs, including four on a fourth-inning grand slam that […]
Reds Beat Astros 6-1
September 17, 2013 by
Following 2 1/2 months on the disabled list, Reds ace Johnny Cueto has only a scant amount of days to show he can still help his team down the stretch, and possibly the playoffs. The most important part of the Reds’ 6-1 victory over the Astros on Monday was that Cueto showed no outward signs […]
Brewers Beat Reds 6-5
September 16, 2013 by
The Reds were sitting pretty with less than three innings to play on Sunday, firmly grasping a 5-1 lead against a Brewers offense that had done essentially nothing through six innings against starter Bronson Arroyo. Then the wheels fell off. Late walks turned into late Milwaukee runs, and Carlos Gomez took the air out of […]
