Don’t ask the Reds why they’ve dominated the Giants one year after San Francisco bounced them in last year’s playoffs on the way to its second World Series championship in three years. After Wednesday’s 8-3 win over the Giants at AT&T Park, the Reds would prefer to acknowledge their 6-1 season series win and not […]
Reds Split Doubleheader with Giants
July 24, 2013 by
Missing from Game 1 of Tuesday’s doubleheader between the Reds and Giants was the sense of finality that usually accompanies a game’s completion. There was no rush to the exits from the 42,310 fans in attendance at AT&T Park. The victorious Reds awarded each other with high-fives at the heart of the infield after the […]
Reds Whip Giants 11-0
July 23, 2013 by
With Monday’s 11-0 drubbing of the Giants, Cincinnati has won five of its last six contests in San Francisco, including the first pair of games of the 2012 National League Division Series. They’ve outscored the Giants 25-3 while going 4-0 against the club that eventually knocked them out of the playoffs last October. The Reds […]
Pirates Beat Reds 3-2
July 22, 2013 by
It’s the kind of late-inning decision managers will get second-guessed on within milliseconds of making it. When is the right time to take out the starting pitcher? Reds manager Dusty Baker already knew the questions would flow like Niagara Falls following Sunday’s 3-2 loss to the Pirates. The circumstances were right out of the textbook […]
Reds Beat Braves 8-4
July 15, 2013 by
The Cincinnati Reds headed into the All-Star break with a satisfying taste in their mouths, but they’re far from satisfied. “[The win] makes for a better All-Star break,” manager Dusty Baker said. “We had a chance to take at least three out of four, maybe even sweep them but we’ll take what we got and […]
Braves Beat Reds 6-5
July 12, 2013 by
Mat Latos threw more than 64 percent of his pitches for strikes Thursday night. That’s good. But it was the quality of those strikes that had the righty frustrated following the Reds’ 6-5 loss to the Braves in the opener of a four-game series at Turner Field. “That lineup’s stacked one through eight. It’s tough […]
Reds Beat Brewers 6-2
July 11, 2013 by
Did the Reds solve their clutch hitting conundrum? Not exactly. Was pitcher Mike Leake as crisp as he’s often been lately — even though he lasted into the ninth inning? Not exactly. But both the offense and Leake did enough for the Reds to come out 6-2 winners over the Brewers on Wednesday at Miller […]
Brewers Beat Reds 2-0
July 10, 2013 by
Not only did the Reds go quietly on Tuesday night against the Brewers, they seemed to be consumed by the fog of misfortune that has rolled in of late. Cincinnati was dealt a three-hit shutout by Wily Peralta in a 2-0 loss. That doesn’t happen often in these parts. For the Brewers, it snapped the […]
Brewers Beat Reds 4-3 with Home Run Robbing Catch
July 9, 2013 by
One fantastic game-ending play on Monday night brought two players to their knees for different reasons. Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez hit the ground in quick prayer and lasting elation. The Reds’ Joey Votto could only squat down briefly in disappointment and disbelief. Gomez’s leaping catch at the fence in the bottom of the ninth […]
Mariners Beat Reds 3-1
July 8, 2013 by
The longest-tenured player on the Reds, pitcher Bronson Arroyo has been around long enough to know it’s getting to the point where his team can’t afford losing games they’re supposed to win. Not only did a 3-1 Reds loss to the Mariners leave an empty feeling on Sunday, it was compounded by the dropping of […]
