Reds Beat:
The Reds got on a bit of a streak this week going 5-2 and running their record to 6-5 overall for 3rd in the division and only 1 game back of the leaders. They started the week with a win over the Pirates then took 2 of three from the Brewers and finished the week taking 2 of 3 from the Astros. Jay Bruce missed the last two games with an injured hand but hopes to return soon. Bruce got injured after being hit by a pitch on Monday.
Red Sox Report:
The Sox struggled out west to start the week but came back home to take the first 3 games of a 4 game series against the O's. Masterson will take the mound this morning in the Patriot game to try for the sweep. This will be Boston's first series win of the season. Jon Lester threw 7 shutout innings in yesterday's win of the O's and news came down that Beckett's suspension has been reduced to 5 games. Does that really make a difference? Either way he will still miss one start.
Stat of the week: Once again we turn to the Yankees as they got a royal beat down by the lowly Indians on Saturday. The tribe rang up 14 runs in the second inning and went on to win 22-4.
Surprise of the Season:
The Florida Marlins have only lost 1 game and have an overall record of 11-1
