The ball Michael Brantley laced into left-center in the fourth inning of Thursday’s game was nearly snared by Reds shortstop Cesar Izturis, who leapt but found it just out of his reach. Had Izturis gloved the liner, the Indians would have missed out on quite an offensive outburst. Brantley’s single was the first of six […]
Indians Beat Reds 5-2
May 30, 2013 by
Jason Giambi had been beating himself up over his woes in the batter’s box in recent games. On Wednesday night, the Indians slugger took out some frustration on a baseball, then bruised one of his teammates in celebration. Giambi drilled a critical three-run home run in the sixth inning, supporting a strong effort from Justin […]
Reds Smack Indians 8-2
May 29, 2013 by
Even with a 3-1 lead heading into the seventh inning of Tuesday’s game against the Indians, Reds manager Dusty Baker had an uneasy feeling. “I didn’t like the way that game was going,” Baker said. “It was similar to the game we had the other night against the Cubs where we had a lot of […]
Reds Beat Indians 4-2
May 28, 2013 by
In the first inning after striking out against Indians starter Ubaldo Jimenez, an angry Joey Votto put part of his Reds jersey over his mouth and started yelling. The words, not suitable for print or your grandmother’s dinner table, still carried to the higher reaches of Great American Ball Park. By the eighth inning, Votto […]
Cubs Beat Reds 5-4
May 27, 2013 by
Reds manager Dusty Baker got everything he could have asked for out of starter Johnny Cueto on Sunday. Unfortunately, he couldn’t say the same for his bullpen. Reds reliever Logan Ondrusek lost a three-run lead in the top of the eighth inning, and J.J. Hoover surrendered the game-winning run on a Welington Castillo double in […]
Reds Win 7-4, Sweep Mets
May 23, 2013 by
When a team is rolling like the Reds currently are, there will occasionally be one or two games where a win comes not on a big home run or spectacular play, but from something a little bizarre. Wednesday’s 7-4 win over the Mets, giving them a three-game sweep, certainly qualifies as a little out of […]
Reds Blank Mets 4-0
May 22, 2013 by
The engine of the Reds’ rotation is once again purring like a kitten, and as its fifth starter, Mike Leake has done every bit his part to keep it running smooth. Leake had his second straight scoreless outing and benefited from some Mets miscues in the field to get a 4-0 victory on Tuesday at […]
Reds Beat Mets 4-3
May 21, 2013 by
In his return from the disabled list on Monday, ace Johnny Cueto was laboring. His command was erratic, and his mind was filled with thoughts beyond the batters who were in the box. He’d already had four walks in the first three innings vs. the Mets, then he left a slider up to Marlon Byrd […]
Phillies Beat Reds 3-2
May 20, 2013 by
Winning a series at Citizens Bank Park isn’t something the Reds would take for granted. After all, it hadn’t happened since 2006. They were one inning from finally ending that streak before a crushing turn of events on Sunday afternoon. Back-to-back home runs by Erik Kratz and Freddy Galvis in the ninth inning off of […]

National League RBI leader Brandon Phillips drove in two key runs Thursday night to help the Reds win their sixth straight and complete a series sweep of the Marlins.
