Tonight the Reds began the process of atoning for last night’s, um, development.
Mouthwatering: The Reds have five more games against the Giants in the next eight days.

Tanner Roark threw 113 pitches over 6.2 innings. Roark walked two and struck out seven. Some combination of the Reds building an early lead and the Giants not-so-potent lineup convinced Roark to nibble less. Roark has been throwing his change just 7.7% of his pitches, tonight he more than doubled that. 20 of Roark’s 113 pitches were changeups, 6 of which went for swinging strikes and another two for called strikes.
