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 Reds managed just three hits against 21-year old Jacob Turner as they were shutout for the third time this season, a NL low.
Turner was taken one pick after the Reds selected Mike Leake in 2009 by the Detroit Tigers. He and batterymate, Rob Brantly were obtained for Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante on July 23.
The Marlins handed Bronson Arroyo his first loss in six starts. He had one no decision but was the winning pitcher in the other five.
Arroyo was touched for four runs while his teammates were shutdown. He pitched six innings, allowing nine hits.
The Marlins scored single runs in the third and fourth innings. They scored two in the fifth.
Miami benefited by an inning opening single by Brantly. Bryan Petersen singled. Brantly scored on a double by Justin Ruggiano. Greg Dobbs hit a home run in the fourth. Carlos Lee singled home a run in the fifth and another run scored on a late throw by Wilson Valdez when Lee was caught in a rundown.
The loss puts the Reds back to 29-games over .500 but their magic number was reduced to seven game when St. Louis dropped an 8-5 decision in Los Angeles. Pittsburgh lost its seventh straight to the Chicago Cubs to knock the magic number for elimination to five. Milwaukee's tragic number is four.
