Reds 8 Mariners 4 How about that for a first impression? Austin Hays, activated from the IL earlier in the day, made his Reds debut a memorable one with two hits and four RBI, including a go-ahead three run bomb in the 5th inning. That’s four straight wins and moves the Reds above .500 (9-8) for the first time since May 1 of last season (16-15). The Reds (8-9) miss a chance to climb above .500 for the first time since May 1 of last season (16-15).

123rd edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life..... Remember, it's always advisable to enjoy wins. You never know when the next one is coming. I look at lawn mowing as me vs the yard. I keep score. If I get to it in time for an easy mow/good conditions....I win. This week, I lost, badly. Long, thick, rain soaked. It felt like a four game sweep. We are in the Burrow and Elly windows. I wish both franchises would act accordingly. My granny lived in West Liberty, KY.
