opposite field Phillips....attaboy!

Phillips first homer since August 24

Cubs lose 8-7 .... As long as the Reds win magic number is 1

Bailey 7 Strong innings...

5H 2R 1BB 6 K's --113 Pitches

Solo HR Chris Heisey!!

7 - 2 Reds

Single, followed by a walk and a single followed by a error on the pitcher scores Hanigan

8-2

2 More RBI for Votto --- 111 on the season

10-2 Reds top 8th

this inning may never end

Reds up 12 - 2 after another error by the pitcher, 6 Runs this inning

Why did the Reds pull some of their starters? Everyone knows that a 9 run lead is not safe with these pitchers. Who is to say that a 10 run lead is going to be any better?

Final: Reds 12 Padres 2

Reds are 1 win on Tuesday or Cardinals loss tomorrow to Clinch the Division ..... I'd rather STL win tomorrow and the Reds clinch at home on Tuesday Night

Go Cards!

God that feels gross.

Reds go a respectable 4-5 on the road trip, and outscored the opponents 45-38. Better defense and fundamentals would have provided a better chance to have a much better record as they were 3-1 in games decided by more than 2 runs, but were just 1-4 in games decided by 2 runs or less! They now have dropped below .500 in one run games! They need to sharpen up their game over the last 6 games and gain home field advantage against all possible opponents, save the Phillies.
