Box Score
- Recap:
- We didn't play well. Thus, we lost. Homer couldn't seem to find his stuff and fell off the wagon in both the 4th and 6th innings. Even worse, the Reds' stellar defensive infield committed three errors. Yes, three. The culprits were Scott Rolen, Zack Cozart, and even Brandon Phillips. No need to get to upset about it this one, guys. We are still 71-47. The Pirates won and the Cardinals lost on Thursday, wich means we are back to six games up on Pittsburgh and seven up on St. Louis. Luckily, the Cubs are coming to town for four games including a double-header on Saturday! Hopefully the Redlegs can do what they are fully capable of and win all four games and really put some space between them and the Pirates/Cards.
- Reds Offense:
- Phillips and Cozart both had a double as their only hit on the night. Phillips hit his 23rd double and Cozart hit his 28th.
- Jay Bruce continued his recent tear (knock on wood he keeps it up) as he smacked a pair of doubles (29, 30) and knocked in RBI number 74.
- Ryan Ludwick pounded his 22nd homer of the year in the 9th. Unfortunately it was a solo blast.
- Rolen, Mesoraco and Cairo all chipped in singles as well. Cairo's knocked in a run.
- Reds Pitching:
- Homer Bailey - 5.2 IP, 6 R (4 ER), 8 H, 3 BB, 6 SO. So, it wasn't the good Homer that pitched on Thursday night. But this is what we might need to come to expect when Homer is pitching at Great American Ballpark. His stats prove that he is an ace on the road and a master exploder at the home field.
- Alfredo Simon, Logan Ondrusek, and Jose Arredondo - 3.1 IP, 2 R (1 ER), 1 H, 2 BB, 3 SO. Eh, not bad. We were already losing and these guys did their job by not really making it any worse than it already was.
