Boxscore
Well, that sucked.
Johnny Cueto turned in his worst start of the 2012 season for the Cincinnati Reds, lasting only 4 innings and allowing 6 runs–5 earned–while giving up 8 hits and 2 walks and striking out 2. His ERA ballooned to 1.89.
The offense turned in what you would expect from a Dusty Baker-led team: 2 runs. Those were driven in by Ryan Hanigan and Drew Stubbs in the 7th.
The Reds fell back to 1 game above .500, where I feel they will continue to flounder so long as Baker is the manager. Joey Votto can only hit so many walk-off grand slams. I’d really prefer they fired him now before too much more of the season is wasted.
The Reds split the short, 2-game series with the Atlanta Braves and fell 2.5 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals. Tomorrow, they travel to New York to take on the Mets at 7:10pm EDT. Mike Leake starts for the Reds, while the Mets counter with Johan Santana.

Last Game
The Reds took the first game of the two-game series against the Atlanta Braves. Homer Bailey pitched, Chris Heisey and Brandon Phillips got RBI, and the Reds won 3-1.
Next Game
The Reds finish the short series against the Braves tonight at 7:10 p.m. Normally I wouldn’t be too optimistic about such a game, but it’s Johnny Cueto and his 4-0 record and his 1.12 ERA going out there. The question is whether the offense can find the button (as in George Grande’s saying, “he hit that one on the button”) against Tim Hudson.
Still Talking about Votto’s 3-Homer Game
When Joey Votto hit three home runs against the Nationals this week, it was the second time he’d hit three home runs in the same game. That made him the fifth player in Reds’ history to have more than one three-homer game. The other four were Johnny Bench (3 times), Gus Bell (twice), Eric Davis (twice) and Aaron Boone (twice). Not bad company.
What to Say to Sound Smart at the Water Cooler
Johnny Cueto has not allowed a run in his last 16 innings.
