The Cincinnati Reds traveled to Chicago Tuesday night to take on the Cubbies for the first of a three game series. Mathematically, the Redlegs have got the chance to clinch the NL Central Division here in Chicago during this series. They moved one step closer to that shaving the magic number down to 4 with a 3-1 victory in game one as Homer Bailey took the ball for the team. The offense remained silent until the 6th inning as former Red Justin Germano walked the bases loaded. Ryan Hanigan stepped to the plate with one out and delivered in a big way as he cleared the bases with a three RBI double. That was all they would need as Homer pitched himself a gem as he bids for the fourth spot in the playoff rotation. Let's see how it all played out with the good, the bad, and the notables: The Good: + Homer Bailey had a stellar outing (7.1 ip, 4 hits, 1 er, 2 bb, 4 so) earning his 12th victory of the season. + Ryan Hanigan provided the only offense of the game with the thr...

Game 148: Reds 3, Cubs 1

Via Red Hot Mama  |  September 19, 2012
Last night, thanks to an excellent start from Homer Bailey, the Cincinnati Reds returned to their record to a season-high 30 games over .500.

Reds Tony Cingrani Sails to Cincy

Via Fangraphs  |  September 17, 2012
With a 1.73 ERA including a 172/58 strikeout-to-walk ratio across two levels, Cincinnati Reds prospect Tony Cingrani was arguably the best pitcher in minor league baseball from a statistical standpoint. That success earned the left-hander a call up to the show where Cingrani has struck out eight, while walking only a single batter in four-plus innings pitched. Drafted in 2011, the...

Reds shrink magic number to 3 with win in extras vs. Cubs

Via Redlegs Review  |  September 20, 2012
It's been a rough second half for Stubbs, but he was the hero Wednesday. Wait long enough and the Cubs will end up being…the Cubs. The Reds tested out that theory on Wednesday night, and though it took 11 innings, an embarrassing error in right field by David DeJesus paved the way for another Reds ‘W.’ For all of the details including the good, bad and...
