The Reds are off to their best start in 20 years with a 7-4 victory in 10 against Minnesota, sweeping the Twins, a team that entered the series atop their division. Reds are 3-0 in extras this season. Last year the were 3-12 in extra innings
There's two outs in the second and the Reds have tied their highest run output of the season, it's 7-2. Sal Stewart has a pair of 3-run home runs, which is helpful
That was the 191th home run as a Red for Eugenio Suárez, who passes Brandon Phillips for 12th on the franchise's all-time home-run list
Reds not wasting any time. Rece Hinds is in today’s lineup:
Myers 8
McLain 4
De La Cruz 6
Stewart 3
Suarez DH
Hinds 9
Steer 7
Stephenson 2
Hayes 5
Singer 1
From Reds: The Reds have traded INF Christian Encarnacion-Strand to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for cash considerations. On 4/8, Encarnacion-Strand was designated for assignment.
According to sources, the Reds will call up OF Rece Hinds before Tuesday’s game against the Giants
From Reds: The Reds have optioned OF Noelvi Marte to AAA-Louisville (post-game on April 12).
Instant replay: Noelvi didn’t have to go all the way to the wall to retire Jorge Soler for the first out of the fifth
Three of Elly De La Cruz's 4 home runs this season have come from the right side. He hit 5 from the right side all last season and just 16 of his 64 career homers are from the right side
Maybe the best part of the Reds’ new City Connect? The batting helmet
From Reds: Th Reds have optioned RHP Jose Franco to AAA-Louisville (post-game on April 9); recalled RHP Kyle Nicolas from AAA-Louisville.

#Reds error-free streak is alive! Scoring change from last night's game removes the error on McLain. Reds are the last team without an error in baseball

Nick Lodolo left his rehab start with a recurrence of the blister on his finger
double
For the first time since the first inning of his first start against the Reds, Paul Skenes has given up a run to the Reds, ending a streak of 31 innings
Sam Moll should use "Duel of the Fates" for his entrance music
Talked to Trevy about that today. He didn’t say much, but what he didn’t say said quite a bit if you know what I’m saying
That’s why Geno’s here
Franconas on Lodolo: “TITO
He had the blister. They popped it over in the training room and drained some of it. We’ll take the next couple of days. Because of his history, we’re gonna have to see. There’s obviously some apprehension, so we’ll see”
Not the earliest "season is over" declaration I've experienced, but the first this year.
I'm sure there will be about another 70 or so times the Cockroach Reds (a name they gave themselves last year) will be proonounced dead.
Tis indeed announced as a blister on Lodolo's left index finger.
Reds' Nick Lodolo left Sunday's final Cactus League game just two batters into the game. Lodolo has a history of blisters and the intense heat in Arizona this week may not help. Brady Singer also left a start early this past week with a blister, but was taken out early in an abundance of caution
So, Dane Myers, Nate Lowe and Sam Moll took the final roster spots. Francona said he wanted Hinds, Bleday to play everyday. Lowe’s role is a bench role
From Reds: The Reds have reassigned to minor league camp non-roster invitee C Will Banfield; reassigned to minor league camp and optioned to AAA-Louisville OF JJ Bleday, OF Rece Hinds, and RHP Zach Maxwell.
