TONIGHT'S GAME: Is Game 3 (2-0) of a 4-game series vs Chris Tunno's Cardinals and Game 3 (2-0) of a 10-day homestand that includes upcoming 3-game series vs the Dodgers and Cubs...following this homestand the Redlegs embark on their final road trip of the championship season, including visits to Mil (3g), Hou (3g) and Pit (off day, 3g)...following that road trip conclude the regular season with a 6-game homestand vs the Mets (3g) and Pirates (3g). REDS PITCHERS vs STL: Reds pitchers have held the Cardinals to 5 hits or fewer in 3 consecutive games for the first time since 1962-63 (3h at StL on 9/11/62, 5h vs StL on 5/3/63, 4h vs StL on 5/4/63)...have held the Cardinals to 4 hits or fewer in consecutive games for the first time since 5/18 & 5/19, 1990 (4, 4)...have held the Cardinals to 2 runs or fewer over a 3-game span for the first time since 6-0, 5-1 and 3-1 wins from 5/31-6/11, 1975. MORE SERIES NOTES: The Reds' active 3-game winning streak vs StL is their longest since last season's 4-game streak from 4/19-7/15...regardless of outcomes tonight and tomorrow, the Reds will snap their 7-series losing streak vs StL and their 3-series losing streak vs StL at Great American Ball Park (1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2)...the 7-game series losing streak was Cin's longest vs the Cardinals since a span of 8 straight series losses from 6/24/03-8/18/04. HOMERLESS: Last night's 1-0 Reds win was only the 70th homerless contest in the 11-year, 877-game history of Great American Ball Park, the sixth this season (4/16 vs Phi, 5/25 vs Chi, 6/7 vs StL, 6/18 vs Pit, 8/22 vs Ari, 9/3 vs StL)...only 3 times in this ballpark’s 11-year existence has there been a streak of 2 straight games without a home run by either team (8/6- 8/7, 2005 vs Fla; 4/5-4/6, 2011 vs Hou; 9/12 vs Pit & 9/21 vs LAD, 2012)... there never has been a 3-game homerless stretch at GABP. DOT, DOT, DOT...: The Reds have not committed an error in their last 33 innings (last on 8/31 at Col, 3rd inning)...Brandon Phillips is trying to become the first second baseman in Reds history to lead the National League in RBI and the first Reds 2B with 100rbi since Joe Morgan in 1976 (111)... in the 11-0 win on 7/22 at SF, Mark Berry made his season debut in the third base coaching box following 7 weeks of treatment for throat cancer...RHP Jonathan Broxton on 8/23 had season-ending surgery to repair the torn flexor mass in his right forearm...rehabilitation timetable is approximately 6 months. IN THE STANDINGS: The Reds faced a season-high 7.0-game deficit on 8/8...since then have gone 15-10 to pull to within 3.5g of the first-place Pirates and 1.5g of the second-place Cardinals...that 7.0-game deficit was the Reds' largest since they finished the 2011 season 17.0g out...their largest deficit last year was -5.0g on 4/18...since they last led the division, on 4/22, the Reds have spent the last 133 days in second, third or fourth place...since they were last in second place, on 6/20, have spent the last 74 days in third...the Reds are 0-1 in games in which a win would have moved them into second place (7-6 loss on 8/16 at Mil). WALKS WILL HAUNT: Joey Votto (109) and Shin-Soo Choo (91) are trying to become the fourth set of Reds teammates with at least 100 walks in a season...they would join Bob Bescher (102) & Johnny Bates (103) in 1911, Joe Morgan (115) & Johnny Bench (100) in 1972 and Morgan (120) & Pete Rose (106) in 1974. LEADING OFF: The Reds have won 35 times after their leadoff batter of the game reached base via hit, walk or hit by a pitch...according to Elias Sports Bureau, those 35 wins in such instances lead the Major Leagues. 200 STRIKEOUTS: Homer Bailey (181k) and Mat Latos (172k) could become the first set of Reds teammates to record at least 200 strikeouts each...since 1882, only 9 Reds pitchers had at least 200 strikeouts in a season (accomplished 16 times): Jim Maloney (4x), Mario Soto (3x), Aaron Harang (2x), Tony Mullane, Noodles Hahn, Jose Rijo, Tom Seaver, Edinson Volquez, Gary Nolan and Johnny Vander Meer. HOME COOKIN'....: The Reds are 43-23 at Great American Ball Park with 14 home games remaining, pacing for a ballpark attendance record of 2,507,200... the record of 2,355,259 was established in GABP's inaugural 2003 season... the club high mark of 2,629,708 was set in 1976 at Riverfront Stadium...Reds pitchers recorded at least 11 strikeouts at home 20 times...the Redlegs won or split 15 of their previous 21 home series...won their first 5 home series of the season for the first time since the 1967 club won its first 7 series at Crosley Field.

Page 1: RED HOTS S C - Major League Baseball · TONIGHT'S GAME: Is Game 3 (2-0) of a 4-game series vs Chris Tunno's Cardinals and Game 3 (2-0) of a 10-day homestand that includes upcoming

TONIGHT'S GAME: Is Game 3 (2-0) of a 4-game series vs Chris Tunno's Cardinals and Game 3 (2-0) of a 10-day homestand that includes upcoming 3-game series vs the Dodgers and Cubs...following this homestand the Redlegs embark on their final road trip of the championship season, including visits to Mil (3g), Hou (3g) and Pit (off day, 3g)...following that road trip conclude the regular season with a 6-game homestand vs the Mets (3g) and Pirates (3g).

REDS PITCHERS vs STL: Reds pitchers have held the Cardinals to 5 hits or fewer in 3 consecutive games for the first time since 1962-63 (3h at StL on 9/11/62, 5h vs StL on 5/3/63, 4h vs StL on 5/4/63)...have held the Cardinals to 4 hits or fewer in consecutive games for the first time since 5/18 & 5/19, 1990 (4, 4)...have held the Cardinals to 2 runs or fewer over a 3-game span for the first time since 6-0, 5-1 and 3-1 wins from 5/31-6/11, 1975.

MORE SERIES NOTES: The Reds' active 3-game winning streak vs StL is their longest since last season's 4-game streak from 4/19-7/15...regardless of outcomes tonight and tomorrow, the Reds will snap their 7-series losing streak vs StL and their 3-series losing streak vs StL at Great American Ball Park (1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2)...the 7-game series losing streak was Cin's longest vs the Cardinals since a span of 8 straight series losses from 6/24/03-8/18/04.

HOMERLESS: Last night's 1-0 Reds win was only the 70th homerless contest in the 11-year, 877-game history of Great American Ball Park, the sixth this season (4/16 vs Phi, 5/25 vs Chi, 6/7 vs StL, 6/18 vs Pit, 8/22 vs Ari, 9/3 vs StL)...only 3 times in this ballpark’s 11-year existence has there been a streak of 2 straight games without a home run by either team (8/6-8/7, 2005 vs Fla; 4/5-4/6, 2011 vs Hou; 9/12 vs Pit & 9/21 vs LAD, 2012)...there never has been a 3-game homerless stretch at GABP.

DOT, DOT, DOT...: The Reds have not committed an error in their last 33 innings (last on 8/31 at Col, 3rd inning)...Brandon Phillips is trying to become the first second baseman in Reds history to lead the National League in RBI and the first Reds 2B with 100rbi since Joe Morgan in 1976 (111)...in the 11-0 win on 7/22 at SF, Mark Berry made his season debut in the third base coaching box following 7 weeks of treatment for throat cancer...RHP Jonathan Broxton on 8/23 had season-ending surgery to repair the torn flexor mass in his right forearm...rehabilitation timetable is approximately 6 months.

IN THE STANDINGS: The Reds faced a season-high 7.0-game deficit on 8/8...since then have gone 15-10 to pull to within 3.5g of the first-place Pirates and 1.5g of the second-place Cardinals...that 7.0-game deficit was the Reds' largest since they finished the 2011 season 17.0g out...their largest deficit last year was -5.0g on 4/18...since they last led the division, on 4/22, the Reds have spent the last 133 days in second, third or fourth place...since they were last in second place, on 6/20, have spent the last 74 days in third...the Reds are 0-1 in games in which a win would have moved them into second place (7-6 loss on 8/16 at Mil).

WALKS WILL HAUNT: Joey Votto (109) and Shin-Soo Choo (91) are trying to become the fourth set of Reds teammates with at least 100 walks in a season...they would join Bob Bescher (102) & Johnny Bates (103) in 1911, Joe Morgan (115) & Johnny Bench (100) in 1972 and Morgan (120) & Pete Rose (106) in 1974.

200 STRIKEOUTS: Homer Bailey (181k) and Mat Latos (172k) could become the first set of Reds teammates to record at least 200 strikeouts each...since 1882, only 9 Reds pitchers had at least 200 strikeouts in a season (accomplished 16 times): Jim Maloney (4x), Mario Soto (3x), Aaron Harang (2x), Tony Mullane, Noodles Hahn, Jose Rijo, Tom Seaver, Edinson Volquez, Gary Nolan and Johnny Vander Meer.

HOME COOKIN'....: The Reds are 43-23 at Great American Ball Park with 14 home games remaining, pacing for a ballpark attendance record of 2,507,200...the record of 2,355,259 was established in GABP's inaugural 2003 season...the club high mark of 2,629,708 was set in 1976 at Riverfront Stadium...Reds pitchers recorded at least 11 strikeouts at home 20 times...the Redlegs won or split 15 of their previous 21 home series...won their first 5 home series of the season for the first time since the 1967 club won its first 7 series at Crosley Field.
