Taveras has a tight right hamstring. He hurt it when he slipped fielding Prince Fielder's flyout in the sixth inning last night.
It's good to see Brandon Phillips is back. Do they think Taveras is day to day or possible dl?
Doesn't sound too bad with Willy T, hard to know with hamstrings though.
Good stroke from Dickerson to start the game. Lead off single.
JHJ homers.
2-0 Reds lead.
Great start to the game, given the bad/strange news with Votto.
Hairy Jairston!

Wow, Reds up 2-0 with no outs in the 1st. That's big.
Hope Bruce doesn't press in Votto's absence. When he learns that he can control the plate, he's going to be special. But he can't make up for Votto's absence by himself.
Bruce Ks.
Phillips gutting it out with a broken tip on his thumb. Glad to have him back.
I still think it would not be the worst play in the world for this team to call Alonso up, but I am guessing Walt et al are firmly in agree to disagree mode with me.
Phillips HOMERS.
3-0 Reds.
PHILLIPS goes yard...
Brandon Phillips, welcome back!! Home run.
3-0 in the 1st with this lineup is something.
Somewhere in the dugout, Harang must be giggling.
Kinda wish Brandon had tried to hit one that far last night...
