Latos manages to win despite allowing five homers

Mat Latos had mixed reactions to his start Sunday against the Colorado Rockies, but he and the Cincinnati Reds will take the result. The right-hander set a career high by giving up five home runs, but those were the only baserunners he allowed, minimizing the damage while the Reds were hitting four homers on their way to a 7-5 win. "I didn't walk anybody?" said...

Versatile relievers pitching great for Reds

CINCINNATI It wasn't as if he needed to do it because Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker already knew what relief pitcher Sam LeCure is all about. But Baker is all about clear psyches for his players and he wanted to be certain. LeCure, a long relief pitcher, wasn't being used, 11 days of inactivity, a forgotten man, anonymous in his bullpen chair. Baker wanted to be...

RAW POWER

Reds infielder lets go of bat, hits home run

A common baseball adage is throw [the barrel of] your bat at the ball. Cincinnati Reds third baseman Todd Frazier took that to heart on Sunday while facing the soft-tossing, 49-year-old lefty Jamie Moyer. With the bases empty and one out in the bottom of the fourth inning, Frazier waited back on a 72 mph changeup and then turned on it for his fifth home run of the season and the...

Aroldis Chapman Heading Down Wrong Path of Becoming Massive Talent With Tons of Baggage

Aroldis Chapman had quite the week. On Monday, the Reds hurler received a promotion, as he was tapped to become the team's new closer. The move also fell on the day that he was arrested for driving on a suspended license with a citation for speeding. The roller-coaster stretch continued when he was sued on Tuesday for being responsible for a man's imprisonment in his native...

The team hit 3 home runs. Chris Heisey, his second in as many games, hit a 3-run shot for the early lead in the first inning. Devin Mesoraco hit a solo shot in the 4th. And Ryan Ludwick contributed his own...

Bullpen carries Reds to top of NL Central

CINCINNATI First baseman Joey Votto and second baseman Brandon Phillips are the cornerstones of the Cincinnati Reds long-term success. The contracts say so. The foundation, however, for the Reds returning to the top in the National League Central rests on the arms of their pitching rotation. So far, so good. The Reds have recovered from two weeks of season-opening misery and...

Happy Jay Bruce Day 2012

Who's hot, who's not for the Redlegs

Joey Votto is being well, Joey Votto. The first-place Reds (25-20) have had a solid month of May so far (14-9)--aided by a recent string of six straight victories, of course. And you don't rip off a 6-game winning streak without some great individual production. Here are those players who are currently on a hot streak themselves lately, followed by some that are "...
