Players hit five more home runs last night at the Great American Launching Pad. Unfortunately, the vast majority of them were hit by the guys in red. Scott Elarton was atrociously bad—giving up 3 HR, 6 ER, and 8 H. He’s a fly ball pitcher in a stadium that resembles a little league park. Not a good combination.
The Reds won the game 7-2. Hopefully the Royals can bounce back and win the final game of the series to continue their hot stretch. It’d be nice to see them take a four-series winning streak into St. Louis—especially since the Cardinals are playing so poorly right now. I’m planning to visit family in the St. Louis area this weekend and I’ll be at one of the games. Hopefully I can provide you with a few good pictures next week of the Royals playing at the new Busch Stadium.
Tomorrow night, the pitching match up favors the Reds again. Bobby Keppel (0-4, 4.78) goes against Bronson Arroyo (9-4, 2.58).
Berroa Walk Watch (the quest for double digits): 6 walks in 71 games.
