Tweets Of The Night: Joey Votto, Chapman Too Much In 3-2 Reds Win
After failing to complete the sweep against the Colorado Rockies, the Dodgers traveled to Cincinnati tonight to face the Reds. The last time these two teams met, the Dodgers won three out of four at Dodger Stadium.
Chris Capuano is on the mound to face Mike Leake and both pitchers are desperate for a victory. Yasiel Puig and Brandon Phillips were back in the lineup tonight after they’ve been dealing with minor injuries.
Most of the regulars were back in the lineup and the Dodgers will need all the offense they can find as the Reds boast one of the more potent lineups in baseball.
Here are the tweets of the night:
Three swinging strikeouts (Puig, Gonzalez and Ramirez) for Aroldis Chapman on 13 pitches. Final: #Reds 3, #Dodgers 2.

Crazy: Aroldis Chapman just struck out Yasiel Puig with a 102 mph fastball, and I was actually expecting it to be even harder
