Red Hot Heisey Leads Road Warriors

Bryan Price looked at the notes for today's game and noted the Reds were 1-6 at Goodyear Ball Park and 3-6 in other parks.

"We're a much better road team," Price said noting the intended irony.

Well the Reds offered more proof in an 8-2 shellacking of the leaderless Los Angeles Dodgers, missing its manager Don Mattingly, who attended to a death in the family.

He was spared the carnage.

Todd Frazier hit is second home run and Heisey unloaded a three-run shot off Paul Maholm.

That was all Alfredo Simon, the Reds starter needed.

Simon allowed one run in 4 1/3 innings; his longest stint of the spring.

Lee Hyde gave up a home run to Hanley Ramirez but Trevor Bell, Curtis Partch, Pedro Beato and

Jumbo Diaz each pitched scoreless innings.

Heisey homered for the second straight day and leads the Reds with four home runs and nine RBI, all while sporting a torrid .400 average.

"Heisey has been terrific in all facets of the game," Price said. "He has played all the outfield positions."
