Following a disappointing extra innings loss last night, the Reds rallied tonight with a 12-4 win. All 8 starters had at least one hit. Jeff Keppinger extended his hitting streak to 8 games and Corey Patterson hit his 4th homerun of the season and his second in as many nights. Adam Dunn hit his 1st homer of the year, and Junior raised his batting average to .357 to start the season.
Josh Fogg was effective in his 5 innings and the bullpen handled the rest.
Rubber match tomorrow afternoon. Reds send Harang (o-1) to the mound looking to even his record for the season. The Brewers send Carlos Villanueva (1-0). Should be a good match up.

Good call on your praise for Jeff Keppinger. Orestes Destrade on Baseball Tonight implied the position should still be Keppinger’s when Alex Gonzalez returns.

If he’s still hitting then I give him the position. But if not Gonzalez is by far the superior defender. I like Keppinger as the new Ryan Freel. Let him play a little of everything (except first, as there is no reason he should be taking at bats from Votto).
