Some of the Cincinnati Reds believe it’s too early in the season to start scoreboard watching.

Witness the bottom of the sixth inning Saturday at Great American Ball Park after the Arizona Diamondbacks punched first in a Brandon-on-Brandon pitcher’s duel for the first run of the game in the top of the inning.
TJ Friedl, Matt McLain and Jake Fraley responded with a right-left-right combination of blows worth nearly a quarter-mile of solo home runs — and eventually a fourth consecutive Reds victory.
