What happened to all the hits? I asked myself that last night just about the same time Pat Hughes did on the radio broadcast. Sadly, I still do not have an answer except that it’s more of the same troubling inconsistency that has shadowed this ballclub for two years. It seems unfathomable that the same team that scored 55 runs over four games could muster just four runs on nine hits in the following two.
The Reds bounced the Cubs 3-2 last night, dropping them with a loud thud at the feet of the Cardinals, who enter Wrigley Field tonight with the NL Central title on the line.
