I like what he is doing --

9 innings of shutout ball from Mes. :thumbup:

Happy that Latos got the dub.

Good thing they didn't wash this game out then, eh? :)

And the Reds take the series. Nice work.

Stars of the game:

1) Latos
2) Cozart
3) Broxton/Frazier

Agreed. He doesn't need to top 100 to be effective. He has to throw strikes and mix in his slider to be effective. Oddly enough, that formula will work as a starter as well.

Had it all the way. That's two 1-0 wins on the homestand. And Latos gets no support again, but comes away with the win.

Broxton got the biggest outs of the day though. I guess that bad outing was a fluke ;)


And while I really wanted to see Chapman as a starter this year, a game like this makes me glad we had him to come out and finish it off.

Almost dead on... ;)

My favorite kind of win:

1-0 pitching duel won on a home run :)

Reds went 5-2 on the homestand, but that won't be good enough for some.

Got to hand it the Cubs starters in this series. They pitched well.
