Now, I like the Reds, or let me say I did when Pete Rose played. I remember growing up in Kentucky for a few years in the 70's and the Big Red Machine was all anyone talked about. I was young, but I still remember kids wearing Reds shirts and I remember the first time I saw Pete Rose play, I was taken by the guy. He was incredible... he needs to be in the Hall of Fame... but that's another post for another time.
You see, There was a place called King's Island in Ohio and we'd visit there once in a while for a family trip, and when we did... it was Reds country... especially in the 70's.
Of course, when we moved back to the Tri-State area in 1978, and I saw a guy named Ron Guidry pitch, and well, it was all over, I was an instant fan and never looked back.
These days, the Reds are just another team to me and last night, they gave the Yankees and Phelps a run for their money. But the Yankees held on. Phelps went 6.1 innings giving up 6 hits and 3 runs.

The pen of Dellin Betances and David Robertson didn't give up another run. DRob got the save, his 24th.
The Yankee hitting and run scoring went like this:
Brian McCann doubled home a run in the 1st. In the 3rd, Carlos Beltran singled knocking in Derek Jeter. In the 5th, Jacoby Ellsbury homered knocking in Jeet again. That was it for us. 4 runs. Brayan Pena homered for the Reds again in the 7th (he hit 2 in the game), but it was a solo shot... the Reds couldn't crack our pen... I love that.
Over all, despite the Yankees 3 errors, a good game for the Yankees. They needed the win, they got it... here come the Yankees.
Final: Yankees 4 - Reds 3
