Celebrate! Two in a row! We win a series
It look a little extra time, and a freak hit (career first) by our pitcher, but the Reds won their first back to back game since mid-April, and assured themselves of their first series win since April. Every little bit helps.
I wonder if Danny Graves was smiling when Weathers blew the save in the ninth. Of course, with Danny, it would have been like five more runs and certain defeat, but there you go. Danny's too classy to react like that anyway.
It goes to show you what you can get when the starting pitching keeps you in the game, even if the bullpen blows up after that. Meanwhile, the Reds can get their first sweep since the opening series of the season.
One thing is for sure. Aaron Harang needs to pitch deep into the game, because the bullpen was taxed tonight.
Sean Casey may miss some time. Worst case scenario is if he's injured badly enough to not play but not badly enough to be placed onto the DL. We are already down to 12 position players, and if you pull Randa (foot) and Casey off the list, then your back up catcher is quite literally the only player on the bench.
Day game tomorrow and a quick turnaround for the guys.
