Trivia

Sean Casey is leading the NL in hitting at .371. Who was the last Red to lead the NL for a season? (Answer below).

Who's hot

Mike Matthews. The veteran left-handed reliever is cashing a major-league check primarily as a spectator. Recalled from Louisville May 11, he appeared only three times for 1 1/3 innings entering Saturday.

Who's not

Reds pinch hitters. Jacob Cruz had a key pinch-hit double Friday, but that has been a rarity. Cruz and Juan Castro entered Saturday 5-for-15 (.333), but the rest of the team is 3-for-35 (.086).

By the numbers

8-15: The Reds' record against the Astros the past two seasons.

14-8: Reds' record in games in which they homer.

10-10: Record when they don't homer.

4-7: Record in games decided in the last at-bat.

23-11: Record when scoring at least three runs.

1-7: Record when scoring fewer than three runs.

Remember him?

Eric Valent. Ha! You don't remember he was a Red last season, do you? Valent hit .214 in 18 games down the stretch. A Met, he has taken advantage of injuries for playing time and is batting .295 with three homers and 10 RBI in 36 games.

Trivia answer

Not surprisingly, Pete Rose was the last Red to lead the NL in batting average, hitting .338 in 1973. He led the league two other times, hitting .348 in 1969 and .335 in 1968.

The week ahead

Jack McKeon and his world champion Florida Marlins come to town for a three-game series beginning Tuesday. The Reds then head north of the border for three games with the Montreal Expos.
