Considering we lost the first two earlier in the week, I’ll take a split. And nine seems to be the magic number since that’s what the Reds have put on the board the last two days.

Today we beat up on future Hall of Famer Greg Maddux. Rich Aurilia hit a three run shot and Javier Valentine hit two. Even a poor start by Eric Milton couldn’t stop us from losing this one.

Yesterday it was Kerry Wood who was on the receiving end of the Reds homerun attack. Felipe Lopez, Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey hit solo homers in each of the first three innings and Javier Valentine added another solo shot in the sixth inning. Aaron Harang really continues to impress as he pitched the first complete game of the season for the Reds. He did give up three runs in the seventh but by that time the game was comfortably out of reach.

The Brew Crew is on deck. Maybe we can get a good old winning streak going. Woo Hoo.
