April 17th-19th vs. Reds (5-5)
April 17th:
Reds 2 @ Cardinals 3
WP: Jaime Garcia (1-2, 3.72)
LP: Bronson Arroyo (1-1, 2.84)
SV: Jason Motte (3, 1.93)
HR: CIN: Devin Mesoraco (2), Drew Stubbs (1)
Once again we get a strong effort from our starting pitcher, as Garcia allowed only one run in eight innings of work. Cincinnati threatened with a run in the top of the ninth, but Motte was able to close out the game and extend our winning streak to three.
Around the League:
Josh Johnson and Yovani Gallardo both pitch shutouts.
Cincinnati's RP Nick Masset will miss an extra two weeks with a tender shoulder.
Chicago (AL) signs 2B Toby Gardenhire and OF Michael Restovich to one year deals.
April 18th:
Reds 2 @ Cardinals 5
WP: Lance Lynn (1-1, 4.08)
LP: Mike Leake (1-2, 5.24)
SV: Jason Motte (4, 1.59)
HR: STL: Lance Berkman (4)
After scoring two in the bottom of the first, Lance Lynn allowed the Reds to tie the game in the second. But after that, Lynn was very solid, pitching a total of 6.2 innings, striking out 10.
Despite only hitting .167 in AAA, we called up Allen Craig and sent Adron Chambers back to AAA. Until Jay returns from the DL, Craig will start in right, and Beltran will start in center.
April 19th:
Reds 8 @ Cardinals 2 (14)
WP: Jose Arredondo (1-0, 6.75)
LP: Marc Rzepczynski (0-1, 7.11)
HR: None
The game was much closer than the score, as no runs were scored between the 7th and 13th innings. Unfortunately, the Reds exploded for six runs in the 14th, preventing us from getting the sweep.
Around the League:
RP Hong-Chih Kuo signs a 1 year deal worth $660,000 with the Brewers.
