  Also, Cardinals trail the Brewers 3-0 in the 9th inning. Reds could be 2.5 games up before they play tonight.

  I wonder if Carpenter & Wainwright have ever lost back to back games this year yet before today?
• dave

  Garcia lost yesterday not Carp

  Brewers coming through big for us. It would be nice to build some breathing room while the Cardinals are sputtering
• dave

  3 game lead would be nice, have the Reds been up that much yet this season?
  
  I'm just hoping Volquez looks good, I think he's the key to the rest of the year and any shot at a playoff run. He's getting close but still needs to lower his walks/pitch count especially early in the game.
• Azubuike24

  

  Unfortunately, Volquez is always going to keep the bullpen on edge. Even at his best, he's a 6-7 IP pitcher because his pitch count is always going to be high. Just have to hope if he gives you 7 and it takes him 112 pitches, they don't score many runs, if any

  Cueto confirms Phillips paid his fine. It was $1,000
• dave

  If you're gonna copy all of john fay's stuff you should at least post that Dusty was offered an extension.

• mhs95_06

  Not good to start the most important road trip of the season with Joey having back problems!
• Swamp Fox

  Milwaukee's team is doing the job for us. Now, can Volquez get this one without throwing 200 pitches in 5 and one third innings? A three game lead would be huge.
• The Enforcer

  Votto cannot be lost for any period of time
