The Good
–Tim “Cy Young” Adleman was brilliant tonight, tossing eight shutout innings, surrendering just one hit along the way. It was the longest start of Adleman’s big league career, though he threw just 100 pitches. At one point, he retired 16 consecutive Phillies.
20 of the 24 outs recorded by Adleman tonight came via groundball or strikeout.
That’ll do, Timmy. That’ll do.
–Billy Hamilton led off the game with a walk, and the Reds were off to the races. Billy stole second, then stole third, then scored on a Joey Votto groundout. Classic BillyBall run.
