Another good game.  The Reds played a competitive game right up to the bottom of the 8th and then the more than able replacement of Encanarcion, Morales, crushes one in the bottom of the 8th, one of four stunning home runs of balls leaving the field at light speed, including a Donaldson bomb to the fifth deck.  Bautista peeled the leather of the ball as well continuing his play making him one of the hottest players in the league at this time.

6.5 games out of first place in the AL East.  4 months to make things right.  A team playing well in spite of being hampered by injuries to its pitching staff.  No excuses.  They are persevering.
