Boxscore

The Reds lost again last night, but there was still a lot of news that came out of it.

Ryan Freel hurt a hamstring and has been placed on the DL. Corey Patterson makes his triumphant return tonight in his place. Also, Daniel Herrera, the other player the Reds received in the Josh Hamilton trade, made his MLB debut, and struck out some impressive Phillies batters. Really, has there ever been a trade that both teams ended up being so tickled pink about?

I read somewhere that Dusty Baker’s getting frustrated with the team’s losing. I tell you, the man never comes off as observant. Here the team is a third of the way into the season, and Baker’s just now frustrated with losing? One would think he would have gotten used to that in Chicago.

The Reds turn to their stopper tonight when Edinson Volquez goes against the Phillies’ Brett Myers at 7:05pm EDT.
