Six to go, win one for the Gipper, Remember the Alamo, etc, etc. The Juice Box is a house of horrors for the Reds, so hopefully the up and down Wandy Rodriguez can keep it that way. The offense seems to have picked up some, with Wigginton and Pence getting back in a groove at the end of the Pirates series. This may be the toughest of all the games remaining on the schedule, as Reds starter Edinson Volquez has been outstanding.
