Cincinnati Reds' Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings May 18, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1912-The official dedication of Redland Field, later known as Crosley Field, is held MLB.COM Reds bring back Garrett for finale vs. Lester, Cubs By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | 6:13 AM ET + 4 COMMENTS It may seem odd, but the Reds' most consistent starter this season -- rookie Amir Garrett -- will return from a brief demotion to Triple-A to face the Cubs and ace Jon Lester in Thursday's series finale at Wrigley Field. Because of two off-days within five days -- which temporarily eliminated the need for five starters -- and the organization's desire to limit Garrett's innings, the Reds sent him to Louisville following his May 6 start vs. the Giants. Garrett had quality starts in five of his six outings (36 innings), with 22 hits, 14 walks, 28 strikeouts and a 4.25 ERA. "Really, you don't even have to make an argument that he was our best pitcher when he left here," manager Bryan Price said. "He gave us a chance to win five out of six times." While he was away, Garrett threw two bullpen sessions and made one two-inning start, and struck out all six batters he faced. Lester is coming off one of his better starts of the season, having tied a season high with nine strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings against the Cardinals on Saturday. But he took a 5-3 loss, with four runs (three earned) on six hits and four walks. In his previous start vs. the Reds this season, on April 21 at Great American Ball Park, Lester allowed five earned runs and nine hits over 5 2/3 innings. He is 3-1 with a 3.72 ERA lifetime vs. Cincinnati in 10 starts. Lester has a 1.44 ERA in four home starts this season, compared with a 5.73 ERA in his four road starts. Three things to know about this game • The Reds are 9-1 when they do not allow a homer, second best in the Majors. The Rockies are first, at 13-0. • Lester throws his changeup only about 9 percent of the time, but he has gotten 18.4 percent of his strikeouts with the pitch this season, up from 6.6 percent in 2016. That would be his highest rate since at least 2008. • The Cubs will commemorate the 70th anniversary of Jackie Robinson playing his first game at Wrigley Field. That game, on May 18, 1947, drew a paid crowd of 46,572, which remains the largest paid regular-season crowd in ballpark history. Robinson's granddaughter, Meta Robinson, will help raise a new flag honoring his legacy on the right-field foul pole. The team had previously flown a "JR 42" flag on Wrigley Field's rooftop following the retirement of Robinson's No. 42 by Major League Baseball in 1997.

Reds' late surge vs. Cubs can't stop skid By Carrie Muskat and Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | 2:08 AM ET + 58 COMMENTS CHICAGO -- On Wednesday night, the Cubs didn't need to take advantage of the hitter-friendly 24-mph south wind at Wrigley Field. Kyle Schwarber and Anthony Rizzo each hit two-run singles to spark a five-run second inning and lift the Cubs to a 7-5 victory over the Reds, who lost their fifth straight, although not without a fight. "No home runs, even though the wind was blowing out that hard, but we were able to push a lot of runs right there and it was good," Schwarber said. Kyle Hendricks finally won at home, doing so in his fifth start at Wrigley. The right-hander, who won nine of his 15 starts at home last season, scattered six hits over six innings. He helped himself with a perfectly executed squeeze bunt in the third to drive in Ben Zobrist, who had doubled and moved up on a fielding error by Adam Duvall. "[Hendricks] knew that he was right tonight, and that's a great game to build off of," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. "The wind was blowing out a gale, and pitching as well as he did, there's a lot of confidence to be derived from that." Reds starter Scott Feldman, making his first career start against his former team, exited after throwing 80 pitches over 2 2/3 innings. The right-hander was coming off two quality starts, including a complete game. This is the fifth time in nine games he could not go past five innings. Abbreviated outings aren't helping the Reds, whose rotation ranks last in the National League in innings pitched and ERA. In the last five games, Reds starters have served up 20 runs over 23 2/3 innings. "I just didn't execute on pitches today," Feldman said. "When you're facing any lineup, but especially a lineup with some pretty good hitters like the Cubs have, you have to be able to hit your spots and make pitches. I just didn't do that today. I dug us in a hole, and the guys battled back and made a game of it. It was not an ideal way to start the game out." Despite getting a three-run seventh inning to close the gap amid stellar bullpen work, the Reds are mired in a season-high five-game losing streak, their first such losing streak since dropping five in a row last Sept. 4-8. MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Speed racer: After Reds speedster Billy Hamilton singled to lead off the game, the Cubs thought they had him in a rundown between first and second, but Hamilton was too quick and deftly slid under the tag by first baseman Rizzo. Hamilton then stole second and scored on Zack Cozart's single. Hendricks did get Hamilton in the second, striking him out to end the inning and strand two runners. "You have to try to keep [Hamilton] off the bases as much as you can," Hendricks said. "When he gets on there, he'll steal second, steal third at the drop of the hat. You have to pay attention over there." Second-inning spurt: The Cubs sent 10 batters to the plate in the second. Rookie Ian Happ walked to open the inning, and he reached third on Zobrist's single before scoring on a fielder's choice by Addison Russell. Miguel Montero walked, and one out later, Jon Jay was hit by a pitch to load the bases for Schwarber, who lined a single down the right-field line, driving in two. Kris Bryant walked to load the bases again, and Rizzo drove in two more runs with a hard-hit single to right for a 5-1 lead. QUOTABLE "[The bullpen] really was spectacular and [gave] us a chance to get back in that ballgame. But not enough. We've been down in these games; these last three games that we've lost, we've been down early. You can't ask the guys to continue to bounce back and pull yourself out of four- or five- or six-run holes. That's just not the way you're going to win games." -- Reds manager Bryan Price, after his bullpen gave up one hit over 5 1/3 scoreless innings following Feldman's departure SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS Cozart led off the Reds' third with his fourth home run; he is the first visiting player to homer in five consecutive games at Wrigley Field since Carlos Beltran did so in 2004. Duvall's RBI single with two outs in the Reds' seventh ended Cubs reliever Mike Montgomery's streak of scoreless innings at 18. Cincinnati added two runs that inning on Eugenio Suarez's double.Duvall's RBI single Duvall's RBI single Adam Duvall plates Zack Cozart and moves Joey Votto into scoring position with a line-drive single to left field UNDER REVIEW With two outs in the Reds ninth, Russell grabbed a Votto grounder on the grass. Votto was called out after Rizzo had to do a split to catch Russell's throw, but the Cubs challenged the ruling. Following a review, the call was overturned, and the game was over. "We should have a definitive shot of how they could overturn that, and we don't," Price said. "At this point in time, all we have is a call into the league, and they will or will not come up with a shot that's going to convince us they made the right decision. Right now, in the moment. Maybe they will, maybe they do. Maybe they have it. I'd sleep better if I knew they had a definitive shot of that." Maddon said it was "awkward" to end the game with a call being reviewed. "I thought there was one angle that they showed on the board that indicated [Rizzo] was on the bag," Maddon said. "The others were not so encouraging. I've learned already from calls that have gone against us that they have a different look in New York and see it in an even more high-def situation and blow it up. Fortunately, it went our way." More > A BIT OF THE BIZARRE The biggest drama in the game involved Bryant's broken bat, which got stuck in the netting behind home plate above the Cubs' on- deck circle after his at-bat in the first inning.

  • Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, September 10, 2020 Braves.Com
    Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, September 10, 2020 Braves.com Braves set NL standard with 29-run outburst Atlanta breaks Modern Era record in National League (since 1900) By Mark Bowman ATLANTA -- Adam Duvall produced his second three-homer game within an eight-day span to help the Braves roll to a record-setting 29-9 win over the Marlins on Wednesday night at Truist Park. Duvall became the first player to record two three-homer games while wearing a Braves uniform, and his efforts helped Atlanta set a National League record for runs in a game in the modern era (since 1900). “That was pretty amazing to be a part of,” Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said. “I’ve never seen an offense click like that.” The Braves fell just one run short of tying the modern record for runs scored in a game, set when the Rangers defeated the Orioles, 30-3, in the first game of a doubleheader on Aug. 22, 2007, at Camden Yards. Dating back to 1900, no NL club had scored more than 28 runs in a game. The Braves’ franchise record was 23, a mark tallied during the second game of a doubleheader against the Cubs on Sept. 2, 1957. Ronald Acuña Jr. contributed to his three-hit night with a three-run home run to cap a six-run fifth. But it was his bases-loaded double in the sixth inning that gave the Braves a new franchise record for runs in a single game, opening a 25-8 lead. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Atlanta became the first MLB team to score at least 22 runs through the first five innings since the Blue Jays (24 runs) in a win over the Orioles on June 26, 1978.

    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.

Mitchell spent three seasons with the Reds, batting .332 with 50 doubles, 55 home runs and 167 RBI MLB.COM 'Breaking' news: Cingrani develops cutter Reds lefty works in offseason to add another pitch offering By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | February 22nd, 2017 + 50 COMMENTS GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Reds left-hander Tony Cingrani can throw his four-seam fastball 95 mph, and consistent with his career, he used it often in 2016. It was so often that PITCHf/x data showed he threw his fastball more than 87 percent of the time. Cingrani started using a split-fingered fastball sometime in the second half, but he realized it was time to diversify the repertoire even more. He needed a breaking ball and used the offseason to develop a cut fastball. "It's just another way to get guys out," Cingrani said. "It gets hitters off thinking it's just going to be a fastball. I'm still trying to work on how I want that ball to move, but it's good and feels comfortable." At the suggestion of teammate and fellow reliever Caleb Cotham, Cingrani traveled to Kent, Wash., in the fall and worked out at Driveline Baseball. The facility, owned by Kyle Boddy, has gained a reputation for providing data-driven pitch training and also encourages building arm strength by playing catch with weighted balls. "Caleb is a pretty smart cat," Cingrani said.

  • Cincinnati Reds' Eugenio Suarez Celebrates After Hitting a Solo Home Run Off San Diego Padres Relief Pitcher Brad Hand in the Seventh Inning Thursday, Aug
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings August 24, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1990-The Reds release Ken Griffey, Sr. MLB.COM 'Tokki 2' belts 33rd homer as Reds fall to Cubs By Mark Sheldon and Andrew Call / MLB.com | 12:05 AM ET + 196 COMMENTS CINCINNATI -- The Cubs are playing the right teams at the right time to enable them to pull away in the National League Central division race. A 9-3 victory over the Reds on Wednesday night -- aided by a three-run first inning and five-run fourth -- was their fifth win in a row. "Collectively, we were all going through a down period [in the first half of the season]," infielder Tommy La Stella said. "The talent has always been there. It's starting to turn for us right now, and turn at the right time." With the Brewers' 4-2 loss to the Giants, the Cubs opened a season-high 3 1/2-game lead in the division. In the midst of playing 13 straight games against last-place teams -- the Blue Jays, Reds and Phillies -- Chicago has won seven of the first nine games. For the season series, the Cubs have also won 10 of 15 games vs. the Reds. "You can struggle in the second half or you can learn from your mistakes and get better," winning pitcher Mike Montgomery said after the Cubs moved 11 games over .500 for the first time this season. "Now it's all about getting into the playoffs. We're completely over last year." Reds starter Asher Wojciechowski had a wobbly outing from the get-go as he faced eight batters -- and walked three -- in a 35-pitch first inning and allowed three runs.
