Subject: Reds @ Dodgers

Stop the presses!!!  After 7 consecutive series losses to open the 1997 season, the Reds took 2 of 3 in Los Angeles and could have swept but for a couple of very costly unearned runs in the finale. 
 
Compared to recent seasons the Reds are a little short on talent this year (though not nearly as short as our record indicates), but only our typical miserable luck ensures the kind of consistently dismal results that have been seen up to now.  But maybe that's all changing at last!....
 
 
Game 1: The first indication that the tide was turning came in the opener as the teams combined to allow 0 earned runs, and all of the unearned runs which occurred were in FAVOR of the Reds instead of against them.  Cincy tallied 7 hits for the day, fully 5 of them as a result of blown x-plays by the Dodgers.
 
Three of those hits, plus an error, put 3 on the board for the Reds in the 6th and that was the entire scoring output for the day.  Kent Mercker won his first of the season in spectacular fashion, scattering 4 hits and 3 walks in the complete game shutout.  L.A. starter Tom Candiotti's only satisfaction on this day came when his single broke up Mercker's no-hitter with 2 outs in the 5th.
 
================================================================================
 
Game 2: Things quickly reverted to normal as far as defensive sabotage is concerned and CIN starter Tyler Green was victimized early, but fortunately not too often.  The Dodgers scored thrice in the first two frames, a timely error & wild pitch helping put 2 of the 3 on the scoreboard.
 
The Reds rallied in the 3rd, scoring twice without a hit against Chan Ho Park via 4 consecutive free passes and a sac fly.  As in the opener, the Cincy offense -- worst in the majors, on paper -- was unable to generate much for itself and had to rely on some unlikely charity.
 
Both starters had occasional trouble locating the strike zone, but both limited the other side's hits and the contest stayed close the entire way.  The Reds leapfrogged from a run down to a 1-run lead in the 5th when a single (non-blown x variety) and another walk crossed the plate after Dale Sveum doubled with 2 outs.
 
Green held the Dodgers in check the rest of the way until yielding a 1-out walk in the bottom of the 9th and Scott Sullivan, the closer with the 8+ ERA (in keeping with CIN tradition) retired both batters he faced and the Reds had their first 2-game road winning streak of the year!
 
================================================================================
 
Game 3: Which was immediately broken by our customary combo of rotten relief pitching and rotten defense -- both by the same player in today's example.
 
The teams traded runs through 6 innings with the Dodgers taking a tiny lead twice and the Reds coming back twice to tie.  Scrap heap pickup Mike Mohler performed capably in his initial start as a Red (6 IP, 4 hits, 2 runs) and L.A. scrub starter Bryce Florie was identically effective (6 IP, 6 hits, 2 runs).
 
Mohler left for an unsuccessful pinch batter in the top of the 7th and ex-Dodger Dennys Reyes did his gasoline act for the benefit of his former squad.  Reyes contributed a 2-base error and a free pass, then allowed a pair of singles after the 3rd out should have been recorded.  End result: an unearned 4-2 loss.  The teams combined for 14 hits today, all singles, with Paul Spoljaric getting the relief win for L.A. with 3 almost perfect innings.
