« Reds Fall in Philly… Again | Road Problems Continue »

Cincinnati lost the final game of the 4 game series against the Philidelphia Phillies on Thursday in a 5-0 shutout. The Philly win gives them the series 3 games to 1. The Reds now look at a record of 29-32 and sit in last place of the NL Central.

Not really much you can talk about offensively when a shutout occurs.  I guess the good news would be that Ken Griffey Jr. returned after missing a few games due to ‘general soreness. He went 1-for-4 in the game getting his 12th double of the year. Jerry Hairston Jr. also went 1-for-4 which was a double as well. In fact all 3 hits that the Reds recorded were doubles but no one was able to drive any home. The final double came off the bat of SS Paul Janish who went 1-for-3.

Homer Bailey got the start for Houston and pitched an okay game. He worked 6 and 1/3rd innings allowing 4 hits, 5 runs, 2 earned, 4 walks and 1 K. He was given the loss for the game bringing his record to 0-1 this season with a 2.84 ERA. I must mention the winning pitcher in this one who pitched a complete game shutout. He goes by the name of Cole Hamels and he was absolutely great going all 9 innings allowing just 3 hits, no runs and 4 K’s. He earned the win bringing his record to a solid 6-4 with an ERA of 3.36.

Not a very good game for the Reds, not a very good game at all. The offense should be embarrased that they couldn’t get anything going even when chances presented themselves. They will now open up a 4 game series against the Florida Marlins on Friday.
