Daily Brief: Reds’ winning streak grows to 5

Last Game
The Reds extended their winning streak to 5 last night with a 1-2 win over the Braves. Todd Frazier took his turn being the hero in this one with a walk-off home run.

Next Game
Tonight the Reds go for the sweep of the four-game series at 7:10 p.m. Homer Bailey (2-3, 4.34 ERA) faces off against Randall Delgado (2-4, 4.26 ERA). Bailey is coming off a strong start against the Yankees last Saturday.

Feeling Chipper
Today’s the day they stop stepping on the Chipper Jones’ commemorative bases and actually hand one over to the guy. Before the game tonight, there will be a ceremony with Scott Rolen and Walt Jocketty. Here’s hoping the good karma from this celebration of the opponent continues tonight.

What to Say to Sound Smart at the Water Cooler
Aroldis Chapman got the win last night. His line on the season so far: 24.1 IP, 7 H, 7 BB, 43 K.
