A five-run rally and nine strong innings from Homer Bailey helped the Reds start their nine-game road trip on a positive note. Xavier Paul’s bases-clearing double capped a five-run second inning that gave Bailey all the support he would need, as the Reds beat the Marlins, 6-2, before 14,694 at Marlins Park on Tuesday night.

Mother’s Day is recognized in Germany, too, so Reds rookie outfielder Donald Lutz made sure to call his mother, Marlen, at home about an hour before Sunday’s game vs. the Brewers. “It was pretty funny when I called her [to say] Happy Mother’s Day,” Lutz said. “She said, ‘What’s wrong with your voice?’ Because I’ve […]

May 9, 2013 by
As well as Mike Leake was pitching against the Braves on Wednesday afternoon, combined with his track record as a hitter, Reds manager Dusty Baker made a decision to try and squeeze a little more from his starting pitcher. The choice to let Leake bat in the seventh inning and return to pitch the eighth […]

May 8, 2013 by
The 27th out was just one strike away from being notched by the Braves on Tuesday night and the Reds were just about done against closer Craig Kimbrel.

Reds starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo had to grind and he had to slog during a seemingly perpetual uphill fight vs. the Braves. The one thing Arroyo did not do was give up on trying to keep the Reds in striking distance. Coming off of a three-game sweep of the Cubs and a hard-earned .500 road […]

There were few attempts to downplay how much the Reds wanted to go home with a .500 record on the road trip, which started with despair but ended with relief and satisfaction. Sunday’s 7-4 Reds victory over the Cubs meant a three-game series sweep and a 5-5 trip through Washington, St. Louis and Chicago. “It […]

May 2, 2013 by
Somewhere in Chicago during Thursday’s off-day after 20 games in 20 days, the Reds will need to find a recharging station for their bats. Wednesday’s 4-2 defeat vs. the Cardinals marked the 13th time in 29 games this season that the Reds were held to two runs or fewer. It has happened in five of […]
Cardinals Beat Reds 2-1
May 1, 2013 by
It was a DIY-type of night for Bronson Arroyo at Busch Stadium on Tuesday. The offense did little to support Arroyo’s well-pitched outing in a 2-1 loss to the Cardinals that hinged on Matt Holliday’s two-run homer in the sixth inning. Even if Cincinnati had provided a tad more octane vs. lefty Jaime Garcia, neither […]

Throughout his brief big league career, Mat Latos might have wondered how good his seasons could have been had the month of April never existed on the baseball schedule. But April 2013 has seen those dark clouds break, as Latos finished the month with 17 straight scoreless innings. That included six hard-fought zeros on Monday […]
