Yesterday when the Reds played my Cubs, the Reds hit 7 home runs! Joey Votto (pronounced Va-toe) pictured left, had 3 home runs himself. The Reds really laid the beat down to the Cubs. The Cubs are slumping right now. They are 3-7 in their last 10 games but only 2.5 games out of first. They have been on the road a lot lately but return to Wrigley tomorrow night to start a 3 game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Should be a great test for the Cubs.In other baseball news, the Twins center fielder, Carlos Gomez hit for the cycle last night. His was the first player to do so since Kirby Puckett.
After getting demoted to the bullpen after starting 0-6, Giants pitcher Barry Zito returned to the starting lineup after making zero appearances in relieve. He didn't look too bad but he received no run support and took the lose which drops him to 0-7.
I hope you got to see the two outfield assists from Rick Ankiel, of the St. Louis Cardinals, on Tuesday night. He threw out two people from deep and deeper center field who were trying to tag from second base on a fly ball. He originally was a pitcher who couldn't hit the strike zone from 60 feet 6 inches but now can throw a strike from 200 feet away. The throws were incredible!
