He came to the Reds from the White Sox last July with Nick Masset in the Ken...

A halt to the offensive explosion meant an end to the winning streak and an end to the drive for .500. The Reds lost this afternoon to the Astros 3-2. Johnny Cueto was a bit shaky, giving up three runs in 7 1/3 innings on six hits and five walks with five strikeouts. Nick Masset got the last two outs. It wasn't bad pitching, and with better offense would have been enough. Not this day. The Reds got...

The Reds won their sixth in a row and 10th of their last 12, keeping the dream of .500 alive while increasing their lead on the third place position. Justin Lehr was, well, pitching like a career minor leaguer, but it was good enough for this new explosive Reds offense. Lehr gave up four runs in five innings on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts. He gave up two more home runs. Lehr got the...

The G20 summit is in Pittsburgh, but not many came out to see the ballgame. Cincinnati completed a sweep of Pittsburgh before about 3000 spectators in the afternoon game. Bronson Arroyo got his record back over .500 at 14-13 with seven innings of one-run ball, allowing a homer to Lastings Milledge. Arroyo gave up five hits and one walk with four strikeouts. Nick Masset and Francisco Cordero each pitched...

Coaching changes afoot? After questioning Dusty Baker's ridiculous use of Francisco Cordero and Nick Masset for five consecutive days, Ken Rosenthal hints that there could be changes made to the Reds ' coaching staff, including our favorite whipping boy: Hitting coach Brook Jacoby, meanwhile, presides over an offense that ranks 14th in runs per game even though Great American Ballpark is one of the...

From Fox Sports Ken Rosenthal: Reds manager Dusty Baker continues to invite second-guessing with his handling of pitchers, recently using both closer Francisco Cordero and setup man Nick Masset for five consecutive days. The Reds are out of contention. Cordero and Masset figure to play the same vital roles next season. Yet Baker, who is under contract [...]

The Reds lost another game to the Marlins in which they were leading. Bronson Arroyo, asked to protect his own lead because the Reds' main late men recently, Nick Masset and Francisco Cordero, were tired, lost the lead in the 8th. All runs were scored on homers tonight. Drew Stubbs led off the bottom of the first with a shot to center. Jorge Cantu countered in the 5th. Ryan Hanigan hit his third of...

When Francisco Cordero was called in to pitch the 9th last night for the fourth straight game, it was playing with fire. But Cordero pitched well. When he was called in for the fifth straight game tonight, it was too much, and Cordero blew the game. Really, it's not his fault that Homer Bailey doesn't get a win for his terrific game. It's Dusty Baker's fault. Bailey pitched seven shutout innings, giving...

It's not often that you give up five home runs but win the game, but that's what happened to the Reds tonight. It was enough to give the Reds a sweep of the Astros and a leg up on gaining fourth place in the NL Central. Justin Lehr gave up five home runs among eleven hits in five innings of work, but amazingly all five homers were solo shots. He also struck out six, far more than in any of his other...
