Reds began a very important stretch of 12 games against some very good teams---Yankees, Red Sox, Padres & Phillies. They win the first of those 12 tonight with a 6-1 win over the Yankees at GAB. EDLC was the offensive star with a single, triple, & homer. Lodolo got the win with five inning of one-run baseball. The much maligned Reds bullpen pitched the final four innings of scoreless ball. The Reds highly heralded rookie pitcher Chase Burns takes the hill tomorrow in his Major League debut. Reds are currently three games over .500 at 41-38.
