Walker flies out to left. 2 outs.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
And this one belongs to the Reds! Excellent outing from Cueto!
*waves bye to .500 in the rear-view mirror*
And the bullpen rests.
Wonderful complete game outing for Cueto.
Cueto finishes with 110 pitches. Reds 13-12. TOBTTR!

Alvarez K's. Reds win 6-1. Cueto's first complete game of the year.

Cueto pitched like an ace tonight. Great game, but who cares if any Reds make the AS game? It's such a non-event anyway. And it should be played in October after the WS.

9 IP. 0 BBs. I love that.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Congratulations to Jay Bruce, who has passed Dave Parker for 23rd place on the Reds' all-time home run list!

Some nice swings by Stubbs last night. I see an improved 2-strike approach -- choking up a fraction and a shorter swing. He seems to have sacrificed a little power for contact overall. I imagine it's good for him to see that he can still crank it over 400 feet. All you can ask of these guys is that they try to improve/adjust. I think we're seeing more of that from Stubbs and Bruce in 2012 than we did in 2011.
