Let’s recap tonight’s titanic struggle….
FINAL
Milwaukee 10
Cincinnati 1
W: Y. Gallardo (17-10)
L: E. Volquez (5-6)
BOX SCORE
POSITIVES
–None. The Reds got two measly hits, one of which was a Yonder Alonso homer.
NEGATIVES
–Edinson Volquez gave up five runs on six hits and three walks in 6.2 innings. Looked like the same old Edinson to me.
–Carlos Fisher had a bad game, which makes me sad. He’s become one of my favorite players.
NOT-SO-RANDOM THOUGHTS
–As it turns out, the Brewers are better than the Reds. Good luck in the playoffs, Milwaukee.
–Yonder Alonso is good: .364/.437/.610. The future of Alonso is probably the most interesting storyline we’ll have in the offseason.
–Tonight was the Reds “Tweetup” game. Always a fun time, but last year’s Tweetup game was better (it was the game in which Cincinnati clinched the division championship).
His name is Milton, but I've petitioned the Court for a name change to "Arroyo."
