We are now 48-80. Today, I'm starting at home against the Reds who are 60-66. The Reds Lineup:

CF Willy Taveras - .256 with no homers.
SS Jerry Hairston, JR - .271 with 10 homers
1B Joey Votto - .274 with 19 homers
RF Jay Bruce - .280 with 30 homers
C Mike Jacobs - .208 with 9 homers
2B Brandon Phillips - .267 with 17 homers
3B Emile Main - .283 with 7 homers
LF Jonny Gomes - .245 with 7 homers
P Aaron Harang

Mac Harvey is behind the plate.

The 1st 2 batters go down easily, but Votto absolutely crushes my 1st pitch a high fastball and it sails over the right field wall. 1-0. I recover to get a groundball to get out of the inning.

Struck out Jacobs on 3 straight fastballs.

I've only allowed the 1 hit/homer through 5. Too bad, we only have 1 hit and no runs as I come to bat with a man on 1st and 2 outs. I surprise myself by making good contact and hitting it fairly deep to left but it is a routine fly ball.

The 6th started with a leadoff single that was sac bunted to 2nd, then took 3rd on a ground out to 2nd. Then Hairston, JR hit a liner to right for a single RBI. Down 2-0 with our offense showing no signs of life and Votto up at the plate. He crushes my curveball but it is caught in very deep center field.

Down 2-0 as I took the mound in the 7th. Get the 1st 2 guys easily, but Phillips hits a line drive down the left field line for a double. A weak liner to shallow center by Main drives the run in. Down 3-0 and that is it for me. No chance for a win here today. Bootcheck comes into the game. Hopefully, he won't let that 4th run score. He doesn't, but we lose the game 6-2.

My record drops to 2-2.

6.2 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 1 K, 1 BB, 1 HR.
