CINCINNATI SPORTS LAST WEEK

After an off day on Monday, the Reds played three in Toronto. They got blasted in two of them and won in extra innings in the other. Volquez had his worst start of the year. Griff hit number 602. Then they hopped Lake Erie to play the Indians in Cleveland for the weekend. They took two out of three which gave them three of six for the week. They're still in last place in their division and 11-1/2 games out of first.
