The Reds came home to a day off after a triumphant 5-2 road trip to the left coast.
While Scott Rolen played whiffle ball in the backyard with the kids, the St. Louis Cardinals were dropping its sixth straight game. Milwaukee went to the den of the hapless Cubs with its chest puffed out after skunking the Cardinals in a three-game set, dropped the Thursday afternoon finale. The win by the Cubs gave them three out of four in the series.
The Reds picked up four games on the Cardinals. They trail the Brewers by two as interleague play begins on Friday.
When the Reds were home, he told a group of reporters that the Reds were capable of winning 10 straight games. It boiled down to starting pitching. "Two good turns through the starting rotation and we can win 10 straight," Baker said before departure.
The Reds starters pitched at least six innings in each of the last 10 games with nine quality starts. The Reds were not quite 10-0 (7-3) and the starters were 7-1 with a 1.90 ERA.
