Cincinnati 4
St. Louis 6

W: J. Garcia (11-7)
L: H. Bailey (7-7)
S: J. Motte (2)
BOX SCORE

POSITIVES
–In the seventh inning, uber-prospect Devin Mesoraco made his major league debut. On the first pitch, Mesoraco doubled off the wall. Welcome to the big leagues, Devin Mesoraco!

–Edgar Renteria went 3-4 with a double, a run scored, and an RBI.

–Jay Bruce had a couple of hits, including his 29th homer, a 2-run shot off our old friend Arthur Rhodes.

NEGATIVES
–Poor outing by Homer Bailey: three innings, four earned runs on six hits and a walk.

–Chris Heisey went 0-4, struck out twice, and made an error. He’s had better days.

NOT-SO-RANDOM THOUGHTS
–Not much else to say. Reds try to win the series tomorrow.
