The Good
–Joey Votto had another outstanding day: 2-4 with two RBI. Votto is now hitting .317/.429/.621. That ain’t bad, friends and neighbors.
–Wandy Peralta walked a batter, but faced the minimum in his scoreless inning of relief.
The Bad
–Votto and Peralta’s performances were the only good things about today’s titanic struggle. The rest of the team, besides Votto, only had three hits collectively. They actually only had one hit until the eighth inning.
–Tim Adleman was not adequate today: 4.2 innings pitched, 3 runs allowed on 6 hits and a walk.
