I am a freelance writer. I've covered the Cincinnati Reds, Bengals and others since 1992.
I have a background in sales as well. I've sold consumer electronics, advertising and consumer package goods for companies ranging from the now defunct Circuit City to Procter&Gamble.
I have worked as a stats operator for Xavier University, the University of Cincinnati, the College of Mount St. Joe and Colerain High School.
The New York Mets scored on Mike Leake in the fourth inning to snap a 28-inning scoreless streak by Reds' pitchers.
Mike Baxter singled after Leake retired the first nine Mets that came to the plate. Ruben Tejada hit a bloop single down the rightfield line that sent Baxter to thirdbase. Daniel Murphy hit into a short-second-first double play with Baxter scoring on the play.
Bronson Arroyo allowed two runs in the second inning in Chicago on Saturday. After that he threw six scoreless frames and the bullpen completed the job with no more runs scoring.
Johnny Cueto and Aroldis Chapman blanked the Cubs on Sunday. Mat Latos, Sean Marshall and Jose Arredondo combined to shut out the Mets on Tuesday.
It was the longest scoreless streak since the 1963 Reds staff went 32 innings without allowing a run from 6/20-6/24, 1963.
Jim Maloney, John Tsitouris and Bob Purkey each pitched a complete game shutout over the Houston Colt 45's, now the Astros, during that streak.
