Stats, baby!

Getting close to July now, and various Reds hitters are asserting themselves, even if their pitchers aren’t. Home sour home: Twins are 9-23 at Met Stadium, Indians 9-25 at the lake, and Cubs 9-25 at Wrigley. Oddball stat of the year may be the Expos getting hit by only TWO pitches so far. Damn Canadians are just so likable, no one can throw at them.
