on ballpark yesterday:
?The ball is carrying nice right now in this ballpark,? Arroyo said. ?It?s just the way it is. It?s definitely disappointing, the fact that you give up the lead, you tie it up, you give up the lead ? it?s mentally draining on your ballclub.?
The Reds fell behind in the first inning of each game against the Marlins. Arroyo said the starting pitchers have to tighten up, with the Reds having allowed 32 first-inning runs this year. That is the most runs Cincinnati has allowed in any inning.
?The ball was flying today,? Baker said. ?Nick?s been throwing outstanding, until today.?
The Reds lost 9-5 to Florida before 26,941 fans on an overcast day, with seven homers overall (five by Florida, two by the Reds). The Great American Ball Park single-game record is eight homers, accomplished twice ? most recently in 2005. This was the 11th time that seven homers have been hit in a GABP game.
?They hit some bombs today,? Reds manager Dusty Baker said. ?We?ve got to find a way to keep the ball in the ballpark.?
