Well-rounded L.A. drops Reds
Top of order strong despite solid Reds start

Vladimir Guerrero came into Wednesday's game 0-for-his last 13.
The Reds did not view that as an invitation to tempt fate; it just worked out that way in a 6-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels before a crowd of 29,655 on a delightful night at Great American Ball Park.
"You can't bring Vladimir Guerrero up with guys on base all night long," Reds manager Jerry Narron said. "That's asking for trouble."
Reds starter Kyle Lohse knew that, but he just couldn't help himself. Leadoff man Chone Figgins went 2-for-4 with a walk, and No. 2 hitter Orlando Cabrera went 3-for-4.

Charts first outing to prepare for next

After his first big league start, Homer Bailey was given a homework assignment:

"Most of the stuff I saw I kind of felt I was doing," he said. "But now. I know what it looked like."

Bailey's thrown 43 pitches through 2 innings, giving up 2 runs on 3 hits.
Stop the presses! Dunn had a 2-out RBI single in the bottom of the 1st! :p

2-1 Angles going to top of third.

3-1, going to the bottom of the 4th.

I might have to turn off the radio if they insist on letting Brantley do the play-by-play. Nothing like jumping on Bailey for missing the strike zone by throwing off-speed pitches early in the count. Good grief! Cut him some slack!

And of course Majewski comes right in with his gas can to throw on the fire. How do you serve up an 0-2 pitch like that.

EDIT: Then proceeds to walk in a run and he wasn't even remotely close on that 3-1 pitch
