Game Story | Official Box Score

Okay, so it wasn't as exciting as Monday's game, when Ken Griffey Jr. won the game in the bottom of the ninth with a two-run homer, but it was still a good way to spend the last evening before my 31st birthday. The tickets were free, and it was a good, close game on a (mostly) nice night, with a sweet fireworks display afterward.

We were supposed to go down with a couple of Brandi's friends, but they couldn't make it at the last minute, so we went by ourselves. As it was on Monday, the weather was a little bit worrisome, but we went anyway. It did rain a little bit toward the end of the game, but not too hard, and not for very long, so it wasn't a big deal.

I've been to two Reds games now this season, and they're 2-0 when I'm there. Apparently I need to go more often.
