Interleague play is sitting well with the Reds.  They lost their opener against the Blue Jays last night so that pushes their losing streak to three games.   What’s just is bad is everyone but the Cardinals are stinking it up in the Central so had we gotten a nice little winning streak together, the Reds could be in at least second place.  But no, they even scored some runs (five) but it wasn’t good enough.  Now they have the Astros on knocking on their door trying to knock the Reds from their fourth place perch.

Micah Owings got off to a slow start and never really recovered in this one.  There was no big inning by the Jays but they scored in four of the six innings that Owings threw.  In all, he gave up six runs on nine hits and two walks with a strikeout in 5 2/3 innings.  Maybe he lost becausehe wasn’t allowed to hit.

Joey Votto made his return and he went one for four with a pair of strikeouts.  Chris Dickerson went two for three with an RBI.

Tonight, it’ll be Bronson Arroyo going up against Scott Richmond.  Don’t let that 8-5 record fool you, because Arroyo has struggled althoug his last start was a nice one.
