Jose Arredondo — 2/3 ip,
Cheap Arizona Diamondbacks Hats, 1 H, 3 ER,
Cheap New York Yankees Hats, 3 BB, 2 K. His first three batters of the seventh were as followed: BB,
Cheap Shutter Shades, BB,
Oakland Athletics Hats, HBP. After two strikeouts came a bases-loaded two-run single and another walk.
Carlos Fisher – 1 ip, 2 H, 3 ER,
Minnesota Twins Hats, 2 BB in the sixth. Walks have been an issue in the past for Fisher. He started off the sixth with back-to-back free passes and both of them scored.
“Some of the guys are trying too hard,” Baker said. “A little bit of overthrowing. We just have to calm them down,
Wholesale Colorado Rockies Hats, relax them and get them to be themselves. Fish was probably overthrowing more. Thompson a little bit. Arredondo was kind of expected. He hasn’t pitched in more than a year. He’s going to have some ups and downs. We’ll keep running him out there. He’s a little high right now. But when a guy has been out that long, you have to expect some ups and downs.”
Leading off the eighth inning,
Wholesale DC Hats, Devin Mesoraco topped Hermida with a homer to left field — it sailed well over the fence, over the grassy knoll and landed on the sidewalk concourse. It was absolutely tattooed and it was the game winner that snapped a 6-6 tie.
Daniel Ray Herrera — one scoreless inning,
Wholesale Texas Rangers Hats,
Mets Cut Jacobs, one walk. He also broke Alexi Ramirez’s bat on a groundout to first base.
The negative:
Homer Bailey — looked very sharp in two scoreless innings. A leadoff bunt single by Juan Pierre in the first inning was the only blemish. Bailey was very pleased with his outing.
Daryl Thompson — walked in one of Arredondo’s runs to tie the game at 6-6 when he entered in the seventh. Thompson pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings and allowed three hits after that.
Offense — A five-run fifth inning started after a two-out error that made all the runs unearned. Jeremy Hermida smoked a long homer that sailed over the right field party patio.
Jared Burton — he looked good over his two-inning, one-hit relief outing with four strikeouts.
The positive:

There was a lot to like and not like out of Wednesday’s 7-6 Reds win.
“Mesoraco hit one a mile and a half and Hermida hit one a mile,” manager Dusty Baker said.
“I got to work my slidestep in the first inning and the second inning I worked out of the stretch,
