*Lifetime vs. Indians starter Derek Lowe, Ryan Ludwick is 9-for-19 (.474) with four homers and 10 RBIs.

*The Reds lead the NL in fielding percentage this season (.987).

*I had this a few weeks ago, but it’s now official that Reds head trainer Paul Lessard will be representing the club at the All-Star game and working for the NL team next month in Kansas City.

*Ohio State head football coach, and former U.C. assistant, Urban Meyer will be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch tonight.

*There is a Strike Out Hunger food drive tonight as Reds players wives and volunteers from St. Vincent de Paul will collect non-perishable foods. Fans who donate the minimum two food items will receive a view level ticket to the July 30 game vs. the Padres.
