OUCH!

My Cincinnati Reds took it on the chin on Wednesday night, losing to the San Diego Padres, 10-0.

mlb.com reports:

In his first poor outing since coming over in a July 31 trade from Minnesota, Kyle Lohse was pummeled for seven earned runs and eight hits in only 2 1/3 innings. It was his shortest start of the season with either the Twins or Reds.

I like Lohse a lot. But the Padres were simply dominating tonight. The last game of this series is tomorrow.

The hunt for Reds October continues. But however this season turns out, it's been a great effort by the management and the players on the field. They've brought the excitement back to Reds baseball. As a fan of the team since 1969, I'm excited about that!
