The Reds were all pulling for ace Johnny Cueto to finish his regular season with 20 victories on Sunday. On the other hand, postseason preparation carried more weight. That meant there would be no moving heaven and earth, and no giving Cueto one more inning. He was finished after the seventh and trailing, so he […]

With the National League Central division clinch a full week in their rearview mirror and the postseason on the horizon, what can be made of the Reds’ recent offensive funk? Saturday’s 2-1 loss to the Pirates, which ended on Andrew McCutchen’s walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, was another anemic output […]

The Reds were down to their final out Thursday, trailing by a run in the last regular-season game at Great American Ball Park this season. The club had been shut out, managing just three hits to that point and facing Brewers closer John Axford, who had converted 15 consecutive save opportunities. But Todd Frazier wasn’t […]

For the majority of the season, Bronson Arroyo has gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to run support. The veteran righty has received the fewest amount of runs per inning of the five in the rotation, and he is the only Reds starter who averages fewer than four runs of support […]

Johnny Cueto hummed seven solid innings to hold a hot-hitting Brewers club to just two runs on five hits and give the Reds a 4-2 win at Great American Ball Park. With the win, the Reds improved to 93-61 on the season and, coupled with a Nationals loss, they are now tied for the best […]

From lucky 7’s to seventh heaven, the number seven is typically associated with good fortune.

Reds ace Johnny Cueto’s goal of reaching 20 victories was still alive, but that was secondary to just having a good start. A loser of three straight starts coming in, Cueto pitched six scoreless innings for his 18th victory as the Reds earned a 5-3 win for a series sweep over the Cubs. “I was […]

As the Reds try to prepare themselves for the postseason, they were given two optimistic signs on Wednesday. In a 6-5 victory over the Cubs in 11 innings, Joey Votto’s run production drought ended and Drew Stubbs emerged from his lengthy funk to get three hits, including the game-winning RBI single in the top of […]

The offense has been slogging and notched only four hits in Tuesday’s game. But it only took one clutch hit and Homer Bailey’s superb pitching to secure a 3-1 Reds win over the Cubs, which lowered the Reds’ magic number to clinch the National League Central division to four. They could claim the division Thursday […]

Reds manager Dusty Baker made two defensive changes before the bottom half of the 11th inning with the Reds holding a one-run lead against the Marlins. Drew Stubbs went to center field and Chris Heisey, who started the game there, moved over to left for Ryan Ludwick, whose RBI single off Carlos Zambrano gave Cincinnati […]
