The Reds don't have a losing record. It's not often that I'm able to say that.
Great work by the bullpen again tonight, tossing four scoreless innings. Volquez gets the win, but clearly needs to work on his mechanics before his next start Sunday in Houston. His ERA after two games is a whopping 9.64. His ERA after two starts last season? 0.87.
Either way, a nice win to start the road trip -- 10 games in 11 days, all versus NL Central opponents. Bronson Arroyo goes tomorrow and has some solid numbers against the Brewers in 13 career starts: 7-5 with a 3.59 ERA.
One more note: Anyone wanna take bets on when Alex Gonzalez gets his first hit? Before Arbor Day? Actually, when is Arbor Day? (According to some website called "Google" which I've never heard of, it's April 24th.)
I mean, I'll cut the guy a little slack because he missed all of 2008... but seriously, get a hit already. If Ramon Hernandez got one tonight, so can you.
Also, you gotta love Ohio State alum Nick Swisher tossing the 9th inning for the Yankees tonight -- he put the first two men on but then retired Gabe Kapler, Carlos Pena, and Pat Burrell. Not a small feat.
