By: Javier Lopez
The Cincinnati Reds lost to DC 2-0, Arron Harang once again pitched well, but had no run support and lost. Both runs were long balls and the Nats even the series at 1. There are 2 more games left in the series.

Game 3.

Reds in game 3 of the series had Micah Owings on the hill (3-7) looking to get the brooms out in Washington. In the top of the 2nd Rosales singles to score Gonzalez, it's 1-0 Cincinnati. Top of the 4th inning A-Gonz hit an RBI to left to score Johnny Gomes. The score was now 2-0 Cincinnati, unfortunately for the Redlegs that's all they would get. A gronder was hit to Jerry Hairston Jr. that got the force out at third as the run scores to make it 2-1 Cincinnati. Later on in the bottom of the 8th, the Nationals get it done with 2 rins to make it 3-2 Washington on top. The runs were scored by a throwing error by Reds secondbaseman, Brandon Phillips. Reds could not get any runs in the 9th as it was a 1,2,3 inning. So the Washington Nationals win the game 3-2. The winner is Tavarez The loser is Danial Ray Herrera. Watch the Reds in Kansas City at 8:10 tomorrow on FS Ohio or listen on the Big One, 700 WLW.

EXTRAS! Reds play 12 innings in a 4-2 Victory!!!!

By: Jeremy Mays
The Reds play a long game that lasted 12 innings, including a rain delay. Jay Bruce hit a 2-run blast in the 2nd inning that also scored Laynce Nix. In the 9th inning which was interrupted by rain, Francisco Cordero blows his 1st save when Elijah Dukes scores off a single by Josh Bard. Alberto Gonzalez hit a single that scored Josh Willingham. In the 12th inning, the Reds win off of a Jonny Gomes double that scored Jay Bruce and then Jerry Hairston Jr. hit an RBI that scored Gomes. Jr. would be tagged out at second though, but the run still counted. W- Nick Masset L- Ron Villone S- David Weathers

Reds want to end losing streak in DC.

The Cincinnati Reds want to end the 6 game losing streak in DC. Can they do it? I think they can, Washington is way under .500 with a 15-40 record and 18.0 games behind, and the Reds are 3 games over .500 with a 29-27 record and only 3.5 games behind. The Reds should have an easy win, however Zimmermann and Dunn are both great baseball players so Cueto will need to strike both of them out. The only way Washington wins is if Dunn and Zimmermann does their job, and Zimmermann does not allow Phillips and Hernandaz to get big hits. Good Luck to the Reds.

Reds-Nationals series preview

By: Jeremy May  SWO Sports Co. CEO

The Reds will face the likes of Adam Dunn and Austin Kearns in the opposite dugout as they are now together again. Kearns and Dunn were best friends in their tenure as Reds players along with former Red Ken Griffey Jr. All 3 played in the outfield for the Reds. Kearns and Dunn pose to be the heart of the line up for the Washington Nationals. It's always bitter sweet seeing former players of the Reds as opponents that you cheered and cheered for. The Nationals were known to have many former Reds on their roster and in their minor league system, because they were ran by former Reds GM Jim Bowden. We all remember the famous Reds-Nationals trade made by former Reds GM Wayne Krivsky back on July 13, 2006 during the All-star break that sent Felipe Lopez, Austin Kearns, and Ryan Wagner to the Washington Nationals for Royce Clayton, Bill Bray, Brendan Harris, Gary Majewski, and Daryl Thompson. Only Bray and Thompson remain in the Reds organization today, none on the Reds active roster. Former players in the Reds organization to have played for the Washington Nationals organization are as followed; Austin Kearns, Adam Dunn, Felipe Lopez, Javier Valentin, Wily Mo Pena, Jose Guillen, Kenny Kelly, Mike Stanton, Aaron Boone, Bret Boone, Brandon Claussen, Brandon Larson, Ryan Wagner, Dmitri Young, Jeffrey Hammonds, Brandon Watson, C.J. Nitkowski, Joey Eischen, Hector Carrasco, Damian Jackson, Ron Villone, Ramon Ortiz, Felix Rodriguez, Chris Booker, D'Angelo Jimenez, Josh Wilson, and Rob Mackowiak. When watching the Nationals before, I wasn't sure if I was watching the Reds or some other team because there were so many former Reds on the Nationals roster. Game 1 will be a showdown between Johnny Cueto and Jordan Zimmerman making his first career start vs the Reds. Be sure to catch the game tonight at

7:05 PM on FSN-Ohio.
