Wily Mo Pena, Cincinnati Reds
2 for 4, 2 HR, 2 runs, 4 rbis
Pena singlehandedly beat the Cubs on Monday. His 4 rbis were the difference in the Reds’ 5-2 win. Wily Mo has made the most of limited play this season with 18 HR and a .523 slugging percentage.
Special mention to Philadephia starter Eude Brito. In his third career start, he allowed only 3 hits and shut down the Braves in six innings. Brito was perfect through the first 11 batters and didn’t allow a hit till the fifth inning.
NickyV & I were at this game. It actually started our yearly baseball trip this year. Interesting thing was batting practice before the game Wily Mo was launching them across the street. Then when the game started Pena was batting 8th. Guess neither the Reds manager nor the Cubs pitchers pay much attention to BP, maybe they should. I’ll recap our baseball trip soon, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, & Toronto.
