Burns vs Keller in Pittsburgh and Martinez vs Henderson when Milwaukee comes to Cincinnati.

7 innings by Littel when the bullpen was gassed is huge and a great way to introduce yourself to your teammates. Only two walks and one of those was an old fashioned pitch around. Andujar scores twice and Hayes makes an impact on his first play on defense. Looks like the trades made them better for today. 48 more games left for them to make their own individual impact.

Two of the Cubs trades have hurt them in this series with Soroka now possibly injured and Kittridge takes the loss with 4 earned over 1/3 of an inning.

The Mets lost their third in a row and are only a half of a game ahead of the Padres, who just fell behind 3-2 in the 4th on a passed ball.

Yes, Littell was ON.  As I said before game, Reds needed a bullpen break.  Reds had a big hitting inning after Cubs good starter left the game, both starters did great.  BIG WIN for Reds taking Cubs series with a chance for a Sweep tomorrow afternoon. 

Thanks for heads up on the upcoming Friday games on Apple TV.  There is always Reds On Radio. Also Google up MLB Games and click on Reds game and click on Play By Play.  It gives you pitch by pitch and pitcher pitch count, and shows where ball was hit.  I use this on games I'm following close in my Fantasy Baseball. It's almost like watching it on TV.  If you go on that AND have Reds Radio going, that would be a good combo. Could be they don't match up in time, but it makes for a nice Scoreboard as you listen to Reds On Radio. 

GO REDS....and we have Bengals Preseason Games starting.  

Littell pitched as good as when Reds added Tom Seaver.  It could be the player addition that puts Reds in Play-Offs. I like a lot of the Reds player moves since last season, starting with adding Terry Francona.  

Reds All-star Abbott tomorrow.  Hey Abbott, from old Abbott and Costello.
