Reds Minor League Baseball Blog

Matthew Klinker was roughed up last night as the Reds fell to St. Lucie 7-5.  He gave up five runs on nine hits and one walk with six strikeouts in six innings.  Ben Davis took the loss and he fell to 0-1.  He gave up two runs in 1 2/3 innings.

Justin Reed went one for five with two RBIs and two runs.  Jason Louwsma doubled, drew two walks and scored a run.

The Reds had a tough time at the plate in this one as they lost to Jupiter 3-1.  Denis Phipps doubled and scored the lone run while Jacob Kahaulelio went two for three with a double.

Jerry Gil took the loss and he fell to 0-2.  He gave up two runs on four hits and two walks with one strikeout in four innings.

The Reds dropped their fifth straight game in a 4-1 loss to Jupiter.  All four runs against them came in the first four frames in a mediocre start by Jeremy Horst.  He fell to 0-1 and he gave up four runs (two earned) on six hits with a strikeout.

Yonder Alonso drove in the lone run and he singled.  He has yet to live up to the hype as his number one prospect billing with a .156 batting average so far.  Denis Phipps singled and doubled for the only multi-hit game.

Travis Webb must have felt okay about this one.  Yeah, he gave up a first inning run and the Reds still didn’t have the lead when he left after four, but one run isn’t that much to make up.  Unfortunately, the pen imploded and the end result was a 5-2 loss.  Webb took the loss but Logan Ondrusek and Philippe-Alexandre Valiquette combined to give up four in the seventh that put this one out of reach.

Alex Buchholz doubled twice and scored a run in the loss.  Carson Kainer went two for three with a walk and an RBI.
