Cincinnati Reds' Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings September 20, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1956-Mt. Airy resident, James Denier, offers to sell 133 acres he owns at Compton and Pippin Roads in Groesbeck, to use as a site for a new stadium for the Reds. Eventually the Reds move from Crosley Field to Riverfront Stadium in 1970. MLB.COM Reds can't hang on to early lead, fall in extras By Mark Sheldon and Andrew Call / MLB.com | 12:04 AM ET + 82 COMMENTS CINCINNATI -- Trying to hang on to their quickly fading postseason hopes, the Cardinals needed an early comeback then some late clutch hitting. It added up to an 8-7 victory over the Reds in 10 innings on Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park. Dexter Fowler was responsible for two big St. Louis runs with a solo home run in the eighth inning and an RBI double in the 10th. Reds reliever Tim Adleman began the extra frame by hitting Kolten Wong with a pitch. Wong stole second base and scored the go- ahead run on Fowler's RBI double to right field. An RBI single by Paul DeJong provided insurance. Full Game Coverage Scooter Gennett tightened the game when he led off the bottom of the 10th with a homer to right-center field, his 26th of the season. But lefty Tyler Lyons got the last two outs for the save. Victories by the first-place Cubs and second-place Brewers meant no ground was gained in the National League Central standings. St. Louis remains in third place, six games out of first, with an elimination number of seven. However, they improved to 3 1/2 games back for the second spot in the NL Wild Card race with the Rockies losing to the Giants. "We're not out of it," Wong said. "People may talk about how we're done, but we don't believe that." Fowler has been banged up this month with hand and knee injuries, but he's battling through them. "Injuries are part of the game," Fowler said. "You wish you were not hurt, but you have to battle around it. When you're hurt and you go out and play, it builds mental toughness. We're trying to push for the playoffs and win a championship." The Cardinals, who were held to six runs total in a three-game sweep by the Cubs over the weekend, scored their sixth run of the game in the eighth inning when Fowler hit the game-tying solo homer to right-center field. The drive against Kevin Shackelford barely cleared the wall and even touched the glove of center fielder Scott Schebler. It was the first hit allowed by the Reds' bullpen after 3 1/3 innings of work. "We came up with big hits in big situations," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "The one missing element has been the big hit." In his second big league start, and first since July 1, Jackson Stephens briskly went from perfect game to being knocked out of the game. After he retired the first 10 batters, Stephens gave up five runs in the top of the fourth. Three straight singles, including Juan Martinez's RBI bloop to right field preceded back-to-back home runs. Yadier Molina hit a three-run shot to left, and DeJong followed with a solo homer to center field to give the Cardinals a 5-4 lead. "I just didn't execute pitches," Stephens said. "I was pounding the zone pretty much all night, then kind of got behind in some counts. I had fastball counts and didn't execute the pitch. They hit it." The night was even briefer for Cardinals rookie starter Jack Flaherty, who was pulled after allowing two earned runs and three hits over two innings. Cincinnati, which was making hard contact from the get-go, got a first-inning RBI single from Joey Votto and a sacrifice fly from Patrick Kivlehan in the second inning for a quick 2-0 lead. Zack Cozart's two-run homer in the third inning against reliever John Gant made it a four-run game, but the night was far from over. It was a game that underscored what managers can do with expanded rosters in September, as the teams combined to use 16 pitchers, eight each. MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Molina mashed it: After a 1-for-11 showing vs. the Cubs at Wrigley Field, Molina gave the Cards a big lift in the fourth-inning rally. Molina deposited a 1-1 fastball from Stephens into the left-field upper deck to tie the game at 4. It was Molina's 18th homer of the season and the 19th of his career vs. Cincinnati -- his most vs. any opponent. Jam escaped: Lefty reliever Ryan Sherriff, who worked out of an inherited jam in the seventh inning by striking out Votto, created his own mess in the eighth by walking a batter and hitting another with one out. Right-hander Matt Bowman was summoned, and he came through by striking out Kivlehan before getting Stuart Turner to ground out to second base to keep the score tied, 6-6. Cincinnati was 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position. QUOTABLE "It is beneficial this time of year to have a lot of extra players. The thing that doesn't benefit you is when you take a look at a bullpen or bench, it's hard to get a matchup. They can burn a couple of guys to get the right guy up there. Not a lot of matchup baseball left in September." -- Reds manager Bryan Price WHAT'S NEXT Cardinals: The series in Cincinnati continues Wednesday at 6:10 p.m. CT at Great American Ball Park with Luke Weaver (6-1, 1.89) trying to win his seventh consecutive decision. Weaver allowed only an unearned run in six innings vs. the Reds in a 5-2 St. Louis victory Thursday. Reds: Rookie Davis will return to the rotation and start Wednesday's 7:10 p.m. ET game vs. St. Louis. Davis, 24, made five starts earlier this season and was 1-2 with a 7.58 ERA before being sent to Triple-A Louisville. Since his recall earlier this month, he has made one relief appearance, allowing two earned runs in two innings vs. the Cardinals on Sept. 12 in a 13-4 Reds loss at Busch Stadium.

Hamilton (thumb) frustrated he's still inactive Speedy outfielder has not been cleared, but itching to return Hamilton (thumb) frustrated he's still inactive By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | September 19th, 2017 + 6 COMMENTS CINCINNATI -- Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton has shed the brace that immobilized his fractured left thumb, but not the disappointment over not being activated from the disabled list. "I'm in a bad, frustrated mood right now. I want to get out there and play," Hamilton said Tuesday. Full Game Coverage Hamilton has already hit off a tee, played catch and feels pain-free. But he was not cleared to take batting practice on the field Tuesday like he had hoped. He was under the impression he could be activated Wednesday. "I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm ready," Hamilton said. "I feel like I am pain-free. I want to be out there with my team. I feel like it's still a step behind, especially when you feel like you're ready to go." Hamilton fractured his thumb Sept. 6 while trying to bunt vs. the Brewers and was placed on the 10-day DL. His thumb was put in a brace for 10 days, with no baseball activity permitted. Reds manager Bryan Price said the club is considering activating Hamilton specifically to be a pinch-runner until he's cleared to hit. "I'd say it's more of a probability than a possibility at this point," Price said. "We've all talked about it. I want to talk to Billy about it and make sure we're all on board. I don't think the first time you see him activated is when he's starting in center field. He'll be able to help us in other ways prior to that." September injuries have plagued Hamilton, and they have cost him multiple stolen-base crowns. His 58 steals in 2017 lead the Majors, but Miami's Dee Gordon entered the night three behind at 55. Hamilton missed the final 27 games of last season after he suffered a strained left oblique. He didn't play the final week in 2015 because he needed shoulder surgery, and he missed the final four games of '14 with a concussion after running into a wall. "Ever since I've been here, I haven't finished one season. It's important to get out there and finish the season strong," Hamilton said. Hamilton understands there likely will be pain in his thumb from bat vibration if he makes contact in game situations. He's prepared for that. "I know for a fact I'm going to be hurting.

    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, September 23, 2017 * The Boston Globe Red Sox put new formula to work in win over Reds Peter Abraham CINCINNATI — The Red Sox were up by a run after four innings against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night and Rick Porcello had thrown only 57 pitches. His performance had been erratic, the righthander putting eight men in base. But Porcello expected he would stay in the game because that is what managers traditionally do, they let starting pitchers try to hold a lead. But most managers do not have a pitcher of David Price’s caliber in the bullpen and John Farrell does. Farrell turned to Price in the fifth inning and he handed that lead over to Addison Reed with two outs in the seventh. Craig Kimbrel took over in the ninth and the Sox beat the Reds, 5-4. It was a dress rehearsal for the playoffs, the Sox using Price for multiple innings to get to Reed and Kimbrel. That combination can be as good if not better than what any other playoff team has. “You saw it last year in the playoffs, so many starters went five innings or even less. You need that guy to bridge the gap,” Reed said. “When that guy is David Price, it doesn’t get much better. We’re pretty damn excited to have him down there.” With the Yankees losing in Toronto, the Sox now lead the American League East by four games with nine games to play. “The ball’s in our court.

VanMeter, 21, split the 2016 season at San Diego's Class A Advanced and Double-A affiliates, batting a combined .251/.331/.403 with 14 home runs and 56 RBIs.

  • ENERGY STAR Success Story: Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati Reds
    ENERGY STAR Success Story: Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati Reds Located on the winding banks of the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, the Great American Ball Park is home to the Cincinnati Reds, baseball's first professional franchise. The ballpark, built next door to the Reds’ former home, Riverfront Stadium, officially opened for the 2003 season. Equally as enthusiastic as their hometown fans, the ballpark’s management team continues to improve the ballpark’s energy performance and is a leader among stadiums nationwide. Energy Management with ENERGY STAR The Cincinnati Reds were one of the first Major League Baseball teams to join ENERGY STAR as a partner in 2008 and use ENERGY STAR resources to track energy usage, improve energy performance, and communicate their efforts to staff and the public. Improving energy performance is an important environmental strategy for the Reds and they have received kudos from local officials and enhanced loyalty from fans for leading by example. The ballpark operations management team benchmarks the ballpark’s energy performance using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Portfolio Manager, an online energy tool to track whole-building energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions. By inputting historical energy data going back to 2007, and ongoing monthly energy consumption and cost information, the Reds are able to measure progress and quantify improvements. To date, the ballpark’s energy intensity is 27 percent better than the national average for entertainment buildings1, even with an off-season construction project during the winter of 2009. As part of their energy management plan, the ballpark’s building operations management team implemented several energy conservation measures and integrated energy efficient technologies into the ballpark’s infrastructure.

    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings August 2, 2018 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1939-The Reds announce plans to add 3,100 seats to Crosley Field, by adding a second deck to the pavilions down the left and right field lines MLB.COM Poor defense, baserunning sink Reds in finale Four-run rally in 7th cut short after Casali thrown out at home plate By Mark Sheldon MLB.com @m_sheldon Aug. 1st, 2018 DETROIT -- Since he became Reds interim manager in April, Jim Riggleman has made attention to detail a big part of his daily message to the players. At times throughout the season, Riggleman has organized drills that focus on fundamentals from baserunning, to cutoff throws, covering bases and more. So it wasn't hard to see the disappointment Riggleman felt following a 7-4 Reds loss to the Tigers that completed Detroit's two- game series sweep. Numerous mistakes befuddled Cincinnati defensively and on the bases at Comerica Park. "When you play like that, you're not supposed to win," Riggleman said. "It's not bad effort, it's bad performance. We just have to somehow find a way to clean it up. It was very sloppy." Some of the mistakes included: • Left fielder Phillip Ervin twice missed the cutoff man on hits and it cost the Reds two runs. • A relay throw from shortstop Jose Peraza one-hopped over catcher Curt Casali's head for another run. • Casali ran into a double play during a four-run rally in the seventh inning. "That's the difference between a good club and a really good club," Casali said.
