The Good
–I lied. There was one bright spot. Joey Votto had two home runs, his 22nd and 23rd of the season. He was 2-2 with a walk in three at-bats.
Votto tied George Foster on the Reds all-time home run list tonight. He’ll tie Ted Kluszewski for #5 on the list with seven more homers.
The Bad
–How did you pitch tonight, Homer?
–In his second start since returning from injury, Homer Bailey was mostly terrible once again. Three innings pitched, six runs allowed on six hits and two walks.
