Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…
“He got things started with 1 out in the top of the first, smacking a solo dinger to right center to give the Reds a 1-0 lead. Speaking of good performances, Mike Moustakas added to his 4th inning double with a solo blast in the top of the 8th to cement the 6-0 lead. He shut the Marlins out over 7 innings, giving up 6 hits an a walk with 5 strikeouts and hitting a RBI double. Honorable mentions are due to: Mike Moustakas, who went 2 for 4 with a double, a dinger, and 2 RBI; Tyler Naquin, who extended his hitting streak with a 3 for 4 night, hitting a single, a double, and a solo blast; and Jeff Hoffman, who threw 2 shutout innings to nail down the victory.”
” “We have a really good ballclub in here,” Miley said. “He calls a homer every time he goes up to the plate, but we’ll take the double,” Bell said. “It’s really enjoyable to come to the ballpark every day. It’s not always an RBI necessarily, or a home run, but just getting a base hit [or] having a tough at-bat can really make a difference in a game.” It was just one run, but it allowed Miley to settle in with a lead, which propelled him and the Reds to another successful outing.”
“I’m talking to Cincinnati people,” said Brennaman. And Marty Brennaman felt obliged to return the favor to those fans who showed up to watch as the Cincinnati Reds broadcaster from 1974-2019 was officially inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame. But Friday was different to Brennaman. And it was such a fun team to watch play.” As great as Brennaman has always been with words, he has been even bigger with his deeds to the people in the town he has called home ever since Henry Aaron tied Babe Ruth’s home run record of 714 on April 4, 1974, his first game in the booth with the Reds.”
“Claimed by Cincinnati after the D-backs placed him on waivers, Cabrera will most likely join the team in Miami for Saturday’s game, according to manager David Bell. “Experience in big games and [with] good teams, great reputation.” Cabrera was claimed prior to Sept. The switch-hitter adds versatility off the bench, giving Bell options in the later innings. The Reds will pick up around $358,000 of his $1.75 million contract, which concludes at the end of this year.”
“When he comes back, we’re going to get him back full strength.” 60-day IL OF Nick Senzel (left knee surgery) Expected return: TBD After 10 games on a rehab assignment, Senzel was activated on Sunday and subsequently optioned to Triple-A Louisville. 10-day IL RHP Tejay Antone (Tommy John surgery) Expected return: 2023 Antone will have Tommy John surgery performed on his right elbow on Aug. Aug. Aug.”
