Benson is our LFer IMO. Love this kid!
And I still do not agree with Elly leading off.

Another easy win against the Brewers. Wins like this build confidence and hopefully some momentum.
Abbott is something else. A young rookie like him coming in and becoming an ace so quickly is just what the doctor ordered for this team. Without him the Reds would be battling the Bucs and Cards for last place.
Duarte almost got out of that. But that walked doomed him and some bad luck. An easy 2nd guess now, I would have taken him out after the walk or just started the inning with Young. I know Young is the only lefty in the pen but I don't think he has pitched in a couple of days and should have been good to go. In the end it was a win and that is all that matters.
Benson has turned into George Foster right before our eyes. Just an amazing turn around from early in the season when he whipping up breezes at home plate.
Win today and its back into first place and then head to Dodgerland for the weekend.
