The Cincinnati Reds alternate site team is on the road right now in Toledo, Ohio taking on the Detroit Tigers alternate site team. The crew at Tigers Minor League Report were in the house and shooting some video for most of the game. Two of the highlights they posted were actually of Reds players doing some good things.
The first was of outfielder TJ Friedl hitting a home run back to Cincinnati, or close to it.

Other notes from the game
The baseball was certainly flying on the day. Among the Tigers highlights that were posted were two home runs for the Detroit players. Bo Takahashi and Brandon Finnegan each allowed a home run in the game.
Alfredo Rodriguez had at least one single in the game. Edgar García reportedly struggled to throw strikes on the day, but did tough 97 MPH on the stadium radar gun. We have no idea how accurate that radar gun happens to be.
