Cincinnati Reds' Adam Duvall Singles and Drives in a Run During the Sixth Inning of the Team\'S Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings April 10, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1989-When Ken Griffey, Jr. debuts with Seattle, he and his father, Ken Griffey, Sr., become the first father-son duo to play in the major leagues at the same time MLB.COM Duvall leads way as Reds win series at Busch By Nate Latsch and Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | April 9th, 2017 + 438 COMMENTS ST. LOUIS -- The Reds have every reason to take a moment and savor the flavor of a rare series win at Busch Stadium. Sunday's 8- 0 victory over the Cardinals not only gave Cincinnati two of three games, but also just its fourth series win out of the last 29 at St. Louis since 2006. It was July 27-29, 2015, when the Reds last came to town and took a series from the Cardinals. Sunday's win was powered by Adam Duvall's 3-for-4, two-RBI game while starting pitcher Scott Feldman cruised with six-plus scoreless innings, allowing four hits with one walk and collecting six strikeouts for his first win with the Reds. More > "It's not facing demons and ghosts of series in years past. Our team is better than it's been in the last few years, with a lot of new guys that just want to come in and play baseball, play hard and play well," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "We pitched two shutouts here. Not only is that unlikely, but to come in here and be able to do and extract two wins is a big deal for us in the early start of a season." Coming off of 7 1/3 scoreless innings and 10 strikeouts on Opening Day vs. the Cubs, Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez fared poorly in his second outing. Martinez pitched five-plus innings with six runs (five earned), six hits, one walk, three strikeouts and he hit two batters. A four-run top of the sixth -- which included three Cardinals errors -- knocked him from the game before he could record an out in the inning. "Stuff looked pretty good," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said of Martinez. "Just looked like he had trouble really putting it where he wanted to. That's the difference between today and a week ago. He was so sharp putting pitches where he wanted to. … Some days it's just not going to be as sharp." Duvall made it a 1-0 game leading off the second inning with his second home run of the season, a drive into the left-field bullpen. In the fifth inning, Zack Cozart extended his hitting streak to six games with an RBI triple that scored Scott Schebler for a two-run lead. Cincinnati notched its third shutout of the week, including both wins over the Cardinals. It won Friday's opener, 2-0, before being blown out with a 10-4 loss Saturday. "We pitched very well. We got some timely hits," Duvall said. "You're going to win some games if you do that. Hopefully we'll continue to do that and continue to get better." MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Duvall does it: Duvall was 0-for-8 in his first two games vs. the Cardinals, with his last hit being a homer in his final at-bat Thursday vs. the Phillies. When he took Martinez's full-count changeup deep, it left the bat at 101 mph and traveled 388 feet, according to Statcast™. Duvall's RBI single in the sixth inning provided the first run of the rally that blew the game open. "He's got a good fastball," Duvall said of Martinez and his second-inning at-bat. "I wanted to try and stay square on him and try to over-pull the ball. Then it opens the outer half. With Yadi [Molina] back there and those two going, it's going to be a tough at-bat. I was able to get something to hit and put the barrel on it." Mistakes help Reds: Following Duvall's single in the sixth, three Cardinals errors helped the Reds and two of them came from third baseman Jhonny Peralta on one play. Peralta booted Eugenio Suarez's grounder near the line and then chucked his fielder's-choice throw into right field for another error that allowed Joey Votto to score. Martinez was lifted for reliever Brett Cecil, who gave up Schebler's RBI double to right field. Randal Grichuk bobbled the ball after playing it off of the wall for an error that allowed Suarez to score. "I've made three or four errors sometimes in a game before," Peralta said. "It happens to everybody. Today, I made a really dumb play." QUOTABLE "It's a great series win, obviously against a good team. It says a lot about the way we've been playing. Hopefully we can keep it going. St. Louis always puts a tough team on the field. To come in here and get two out of three, it says a lot about the way we've been swinging the bats and playing defense and things like that." -- Feldman SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS Votto's ninth-inning home run off Cardinals closer Seung Hwan Oh was the sixth home run surrendered by five St. Louis relievers in the first six games. Oh, who gave up five homers in 76 appearances a year ago, has allowed two in his first two games in 2017. "I think he's not his sharpest right now, but we know what we've got with him," Matheny said. "He's going to be one of the best in the game this year. We just have to keep giving him the work he needs to be sharp." TURNER GETS FIRST HIT, FRIEND GETS THE BASE In the top of the third inning, Reds catcher Stuart Turner notched his first big league hit with a double into left field. Turner, a Rule 5 pick who was in Double-A last season, was starting for the second time this season. His brother and a friend were in the seats and the friend, Derek Maggio, scored a coveted tchotchke. Maggio went to the Cardinals' game-used authentics shop and purchased second base for $200 during the game. Reds clubhouse manager Rick Stowe gave it to Maggio afterwards. WHAT'S NEXT Reds: The road trip moves on to Pittsburgh Monday at 7:05 p.m. ET for the first of three games vs. the Pirates. Brandon Finnegan, who struck out nine over seven scoreless innings in his first start, will make the start for Cincinnati. Cardinals: The Cardinals head on the road for the first time with a six-game road trip that begins in Washington on Monday night. Righty Adam Wainwright, who took the loss in his first start after allowing two runs on three hits in five innings against the Cubs, gets the start. First pitch is 6:05 CT.

Feldman improves command for first win of '17 Reds righty finds success vs. Cardinals with changeup By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | April 9th, 2017 + 14 COMMENTS ST. LOUIS -- The Reds have often known tough times at Busch Stadium and, even though it's his first season with the club, starting pitcher Scott Feldman can relate. Feldman was with the Rangers in 2011 and faced the Cardinals five times in the World Series. It included a blown save in the 10th inning of Game 6 and allowing two runs in two-thirds of an inning in Game 7. None of that mattered, obviously, on Sunday as Feldman delivered exactly what the Reds needed in an 8-0 victory over the Cardinals and their ace, Carlos Martinez. Feldman pitched six-plus innings with four hits, one walk and six strikeouts for his first victory with Cincinnati. "The maturation to be able to be in the ballgame where it's a low-scoring game [until the sixth inning] against an ace and just leaving it there and not making too big of a deal," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "He really attacked. He stays on plan. He does that so well." Feldman, who has induced ground balls over 47 percent of the time during his career, effectively used his sinker for 35 of his 101 pitches. Seven of his first nine outs came via ground balls. Then in the fourth through sixth innings, Feldman went a different route and notched five strikeouts. "He kept us off balance," Cardinals outfielder Randal Grichuk said, as his team lost a series to the Reds in St. Louis for only the fourth time in 29 series since August 2006. "He was cutting it and sinking it. Throw that back-door sinker to righties and throw that cutter right off of it. He was nibbling. He pitched well today." Feldman, a 34-year-old who was signed as a free agent to a one-year, $2.3 million contract in January, was brought in to help stabilize a young rotation and provide innings. He wasn't successful on Opening Day, when he lasted 4 2/3 innings and threw 99 pitches in a 4-3 loss. "My command was a lot better this time," Feldman said. "It makes it a lot easier to pitch when the guys come out and put all those runs on the board.

    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.

    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings March 19, 2016 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 2014 - A Cactus League game between the Reds and Royals is abruptly stopped in the 6th inning when Reds closer Aroldis Chapman is struck in the face by a line drive off the bat of Salvador Perez. Chapman is taken off the field on a stretcher, with fractures above his eye and in his nose, as well as multiple lacerations.The two managers then elect not to continue play, with the blessing of home plate umpire Chris Guccione. MLB.COM Adam Duvall, Tyler Holt bookend Reds' win By Adam McCalvy / MLB.com | @AdamMcCalvy | March 18th, 2016 + 166 COMMENTS PHOENIX -- Adam Duvall had three hits for the Reds, including a long, two-run home run, and Chris Carter hit his third homer for the Brewers as the teams battled back and forth Friday at Maryvale Baseball Park. The Reds ultimately prevailed, 7-6. Carter hit a solo home run in the fourth inning, Kirk Nieuwenhuis hit a tying triple in the fifth and Rymer Liriano lifted a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the sixth as part of a middle-inning comeback for the Brewers, who had won four of their previous five games. But the Reds quickly tied the game at 5 in the seventh inning on Jake Cave's two-out single. Duvall, a candidate for Cincinnati's left field vacancy who manned third base in this game, homered to cap the Reds' three-run first inning. Joey Votto also delivered an RBI single in the inning, but all three runs were unearned against Brewers starter Chase Anderson because of an error charged to left fielder Ryan Braun.

    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, April 1, 2017 * The Boston Globe Ben Taylor makes Red Sox’ Opening Day roster Nick Cafardo WASHINGTON — Rainy days aren’t so bad after all. While the Red Sox-Nationals exhibition game at Nationals Park was postponed Friday, the sound of the rain was like a symphony to Ben Taylor. The hard-throwing youngster who impressed with his poise and stuff throughout spring training will be the 12th pitcher on the staff when the Red Sox open against the Pirates Monday in Boston. Taylor, 24, made it because Tyler Thornburg, Drew Pomeranz, and David Price are starting the season on the disabled list. The Red Sox could have gone with a more seasoned pitcher such as Noe Ramirez, but the brass huddled during the rain delay and made the call. Taylor made the team as a nonroster invitee, which is rare. “I was very surprised,” said Taylor. “I came into camp not really expecting to make the team, but all the pieces fell into place. Perfect timing. “I’ve been feeling really good this spring. All my pitches have been working really well. I’m throwing the ball well and it paid off.” Manager John Farrell was impressed by the righthander’s 19 strikeouts over 13 innings, but more important, he said, “It was the poise and mound presence he showed as a young pitcher.” Taylor’s time with the major league team could be short-lived, depending on when Thornburg is ready, but who knows? “The hope is always to make the big league club,” Taylor said.

    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings October 23, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1949-The Reds name Luke Sewell as manager MLB.COM Inbox: Who is poised for breakout on Reds? Beat reporter Mark Sheldon answers questions from fans By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | October 20th, 2017 + 269 COMMENTS Which young pitcher do you think has the best chance to be a quality starter next season? -- Shawn R., Vancouver, Wash. Luis Castillo has every chance to have a breakout 2018 campaign. His 3-7 record in '17 is deceptive, as his other numbers show he was solid. He posted a 3.12 ERA in 15 starts (eight quality starts), with a 1.075 WHIP over 89 1/3 innings. This all came after being promoted to the big leagues from Double-A, skipping a Triple-A stint. Beyond the numbers, Castillo is 24 years old and already seems to have command of four pitches. The right-hander can regularly top 98-100 mph and then beat hitters with the secondary stuff -- namely a changeup or slider. He also has a great tempo that the defense enjoys working behind. Can you speculate as to the future of Devin Mesoraco in Cincinnati? I assume Stuart Turner will be in Triple-A next year since the Reds were able to keep him on the Major League roster all of 2017? -- Tom G., Alexandria, Ky. Mesoraco will be entering the final season of his four-year, $28 million contract. Over the first three years of that deal, hip, shoulder and foot injuries decimated his ability to play and produce, and he has played just 95 games with 57 starts.
