The pitching match up favors the Brewers but favorable match ups don't always win ballgames.

Let's Go Reds !!!

Interested to see how Aquino fares; not much past success but his adjustments seem to be having a positive impact

[Ron Madden]

[Tadasimha]

Good to see Friedl and India more patient than last night; Solano, not so much

Who's stance?

[Ron Madden]

First Big League HR for Lopez !!!

7-4 Brewers

[ZakkW]

Every time I see Lopez in the lineup he is getting base hits, not sure why he doesn't get more run

[Ron Madden]

Brewers 7
Reds 4

[OldFashionedRed]

Aquino needs to zip that trap. You don't argue when you're awful, it's a bad look.

- - - Updated - - -

Why are they celebrating Albert Steroids? Bonds was a cheater, too.

[OldFashionedRed]

I don't like Hunter's body language. Just pitch, man. Or not.

[Ron Madden]

Fernando Cruz was warming up in the bullpen and caught Also Lopez's first Major League Home Run

Nice Play India !!!

We won't see hitters robbed of hits like that next year because of the shift

[Ron Madden]

[OldFashionedRed]

Ump clearly wants to go home.

[OldFashionedRed]

Steer, Lopez, India, Solano, Friedl :)

Ball game. Reds mount a good comeback, but bad starting pitching (and 15 Reds Ks) does them in 7-6.
