Jose Trevino coverage
Hector Rodriguez back at leadoff as Reds look to take series from Cubs
The Reds defeated the Cubs 10-8 on Friday behind home runs from Tyler Stephenson, Sal Stewart, Jose Trevino, and TJ Friedl. Rookie Hector Rodriguez, who batted ninth due to a Cubs left-handed starter, went 2 for 3 with a walk and an RBI while scoring twice. Rodriguez returns to the leadoff spot for Saturday's matinee at Wrigleyville, with Andrew Abbott taking the mound as Cincinnati seeks to win the series.
Red ReporterAlfredo Duno's IL stint only strengthens this Reds decision that was already obvious
Alfredo Duno, the Reds' top prospect catcher, suffered a right hamstring injury in late July that could sideline him for the remainder of the minor-league season and potentially delay his arrival to Cincinnati. The injury reinforces the need for the Reds to re-sign veteran catcher Tyler Stephenson, who is set to enter free agency after this season, rather than risk losing offensive production at the position. With the Reds scoring the fewest runs in the National League this year, losing Stephenson would force them to rely on inferior offensive options like Jose Trevino or P.J. Higgins. The team should act now to extend Stephenson before competing offers from teams like the Yankees make negotiations more difficult.
