The Cincinnati Reds 2B launched yet another grand slam in Tuesday’s defeat of the Pittsburgh Pirates, which was only a small part of his 2 for 3, 2 run, 6 (!!) ribbie evening. Considering that the Reds also got cromulent pitching, that was precisely the recipe for a fun evening of baseball in GABP, which Scooter has almost cornered the market on over the last two years.
Honorable Mentions are due to: Matt Harvey, who pitched out of a 1st inning bout of baserunners and ended up firing 6 IP of 1 ER ball; Tucker Barnhart, who singled twice, doubled, and scored twice in his first ever start in the #2 spot of the lineup; Eugenio Suarez, who doubled twice and drove in a run; and David Hernandez, who pitched out of the mini-jam that Amir Garrett left him.
