Mike Leake finally had an outing that was, without qualification, good. And Todd “The Crane” Frazier did what Scott Rolen cannot, and launched two home runs–a solo shot and a two-run homer–to propel the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-3 victory over the New York Mets.

Leake’s final line was 6 innings, 1 earned run, 7 hits, 3 walks, and 5 strikeouts. The bullpen trio of Jose Arredondo, Aroldis Chapman, and Sean Marshall entered the game after … [visit site to read more]

The Reds split the series with the Braves by losing the game they should have won yesterday. Cueto only lasted four innings and the offense only came up with two runs. I turned off Adventure Time for this??

Headed to New York to give the 20-16 Mets a visit. Mike Leake (0-5, 7.11 ERA) will face off against Johan Santana (1-2, 2.92 ERA). Maybe I’ll make plans to go to a movie rather than suffer through this one.

The Reds salvaged a single game from the series with the Nationals by winning yesterday in walk-off fashion.

    The Milwaukee Brewers evened the series against the Cincinnati Reds at a game apiece, winning 8-3, thanks to Homer Bailey’s inability to finish off batters with two strikes. Bailey lasted just 3 2/3 innings, but allowed 6 runs. The game also saw the end of the scoreless innings streak by the Reds’ bullpen. For the offense, Jay Bruce extended his hitting streak to 11 games with his 10th home run, a 2-run shot. Scott Rolen drove in the Reds other run.
