Reds 5 Yankees 4 (11)Gavin Lux delivered a pinch-hit single with no outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 11th to score Elly and win it. Lux had been 1 for 31 in his career as a pinch-hitter. He entered the game 2 for his last 23. The Reds (42-38) have won 12 of 17. They had trailed 3-0 into the 7th, before a CES three-run double tied the game. Oh by the way, 22-year old Chase Burns struck out the first six Yankees he faced, and impressed over five innings of three run ball in his MLB debut.

Reds 4 Cards 1The Reds really, really......really needed Andrew Abbott on Sunday. With a depleted bullpen, a three game losing streak, and staring at the prospect of their first season sweep, Abbott put the Reds on his back. Battling brutal heat, he was ace-like and All-Star like, tossing seven innings of one run ball, allowing just three hits. That a nice response by a Reds team (40-38) gutted by arguably their toughest loff of the season 24 hours earlier.
