The Cincinnati Reds got crushed by the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night by the score of 12-2.  The Reds really had no shot in the game as they got down early and were not able to come back.  Carlos Zambrano pretty much shut the Reds down the entire game.

Starting pitcher Josh Fogg got hammered as he only lated two innings after giving up nine earned runs on seven hits.  Fogg was seen laughing on the mound after giving up runs, I don’t think he really cared out there to be honest.  He should put forward a better effort next time or keep that smile off his face.

Mike Lincoln, Kent Merker, and Francisco Cordero all gave up one run as well as they pitched in relief of Fogg.

Jeff Keppinger, Adam Dunn, and Joey Votto all had one RBI each for the Reds.  Dunn smoked a home run in the in the eigth inning for the Reds only big hit of the game.

The Reds will try to get back on track tomorrow afternoon when they take on the Cubs once again.

It was another exciting win for the Cincinnati Reds as they score one run in the 8th and 9th innings to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies by the score of 4-3.

The Reds had jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead after two innings but then the Phillies started to hit the ball and and eventually took a 3-2 lead heading into the bottom of the 8th inning. That is when Corey Patterson tied the game with a two out homerun and then in the 9th inning, Paul Bako hit a infield single that scored Ryan Freel.  Wow what a crazy last couple of innings!

Francisco Cordero picked up the win as he pitched the ninth inning when the game was still 3-3.  Aaron Harang had started for the Reds, and pitched seven innings giving up two earned runs on six hits.  Overall it was a good pitching performance by everyone today.
