-After a 21 run loss to the Phillies on Monday night the Reds came from behind Tuesday to beat Philly 4-3. Aaron Harang showed why he is still the ace of the pitching staff and Brandon Phillips hit two homers in the win. Harang and the Reds fell behind 3-0 early and Philly threatened again after loading the bases with no outs in the third. Harang worked out of the jam and didn't allow another run. Joey Votto came up huge again in the ninth when he led off the ninth with a double off Brad Lidge. Phillips sacrificed him to third and after Laynce Nix intentionally walked, Ramon Hernandez singled in the eventual game-winner.

-The Reds are back at .500 at 42-42 but are 3.5 games back and in fourth place in the Central. The Reds optioned infielder Drew Sutton back to AAA Louisville to make room for reliever Robert Manuel. Manuel was 3-3 with a 2.51 ERA in AAA. Baker said that he just needed an arm after all the recent bad starts.

-Roy Halladay is apparently looking for a new place to stay. He would cost too much for the Reds though and as odd as it is to say, starting pitching is not the Reds' biggest concern. It might become a bigger concern real soon if the recent starts that they've been having keep up. I would still love to see Walt Jocketty (Reds GM) go after Jays third baseman Scott Rolen. He's riding a 24-game hit streak right now.

-Chad Johnson says he'll Twitter during games. Whatever. Just catch the ball and get the Bengals to the playoffs.
