Reds Destroy Zach Duke

Charlie_tiny by Charlie Wilmoth on in News

Yikes:

In two innings, Duke gave up five runs -- four earned -- and six hits, including home runs by Ken Griffey Jr. and Adam Dunn in the first, each a deep shot to center off an elevated fastball.

Perhaps most ominous, given that opponents batted .359 off Duke in 2007: He failed to get one swing-and-miss.

This is bad
Totally unacceptable. Both lefties hitting homers off a lefty.  

Speaking of lefties, the Reds have a TON of left handed power; Griffey, Dunn, Votto, and Jay Bruce.
