CINCINNATI -- Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo came away winless for his fifth-straight start during Friday's 3-2 win over the Braves in 10 innings, but that wasn't the takeaway he cared about. Besides his team winning, the 40-year-old right-hander was more enthusiastic about how he felt.
"It's taken until last night for me to feel free and easy on the mound all year," Arroyo said on Saturday. "You're either grinding against pain, or you're grinding against things you want your body to do that you've slowly slid away from for whatever reason. Mechanically you change over time and don't realize it.
