Game 100: The Streak Continues

Cueto's Unusually Poor Performance Is Overshadowed By Reds Offense.

Cincinnati   9   9   2
Colorado    7   13  0

By Ryan Bramwell

  • Well, what can you say?  Johnny Cueto looks like a mortal man after this one but the Reds refuse to lose anyway.  Cueto gets a win despite a somewhat poor performance.  Johnny pitched six full innings and gave up five runs (four earned) on 10 hits.  He walked a pair and struck out three.  
  • Ryan Ludwick continued his monster July by contributing two home runs.  He should probably start being considered for Comeback Player of the Year at this point.  His average has increased dramatically every month since the beginning of the season and he hasn't missed a beat during the Reds' winning streak.
  • Stubbs continues to prove to the brass that he is the right man for the job as the everyday center fielder in Cincinnati.  Drew reached base three times on a walk, single and yet another home run.  Keep it up, buddy!
  • Todd Frazier homered and singled as well.  He's good, people/
  • Scotty Baseball got in on the action and homered as well.  Got to love that.
  • Phillips doubled and had a pair of RBI.
  • Hanigan reached base three times by walking twice and adding a single.
  • The bullpen was well-used.  Five guys: Arredondo, Bray, Ondrusek, Marshall, and Chapman all saw action.  Only Arredondo gave up a run.  He gave up two.  Bray was bad as well as he only pitched to one batter and walked him.
*9 in a row!  One more and Marty Brennaman will be shaving his head!
