New Reds' manager Bryan Price has a case of wine on a shelf next to his desk in his office.
The early riser gets up at 4:30 am every day to drive 40 minutes to work but comes in with a smile on his face and eager to go.
He keeps telling himself this is a process and tries not to worry about results but the Reds lost for the 10th time in 11 games on Wednesday when the Rockies prevailed 3-2.
An efficient Brett Anderson turned a scheduled three-inning start into a five-inning, one-run outing for Colorado on Wednesday as a Rockies split-squad beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-2.
Pitching on short rest because Colorado plays five games in three days, Anderson gave up five hits and struck out two. He didn't hit 50 pitches until the fifth.
"I didn't feel like I had the fastball velocity I had the first two outings, but my command was pretty good, still," Anderson said. "Breaking ball, both of them were pretty good. Coming off three days' rest, that's pretty much all I could ask for."
Charlie Culberson had an RBI double off Reds starter Mike Leake in the third. It was the lone run allowed by Leake, who yielded three hits and a walk in three innings as he regains strength following an abdominal injury.
"Not my best," Leake said. "Could have been down in the zone a little better."
Charlie Blackmon and Matt McBride added RBI singles for the Rockies.
Rockies lefty Tyler Matzek walked four straight to start the ninth. Mike McClendon came on and induced a force play at home and a double play to send the Reds to their 10th loss in 11 games.
It was the first time manager Bryan Price got to see Leake, who pitched in a split-squad game Price didn't attend in his first start.
"He looked good. He moved around well, had a nice bunt. It kind of shows that he's healthy," Price said.
Chris Heisey robbed Michael Cuddyer of extra bases with a diving catch in right and threw to first for a double play to end the first. Heisey then doubled to start the next inning and scored.
Heisey went 2 for 3 and is hitting .370 (10 for 27).
"He's been terrific," Price said. "I've been around him as long as he's been in the big leagues, starting in 2010, and we've always felt like he's that guy who could be a dynamic player."
