Reds' road record on the upswing
NEW YORK -- Tuesday's 4-0 Reds win over the Mets had a little added importance to manager Dusty Baker. It helped Cincinnati reach .500 on the road, where the Reds are now 12-12 after starting the season 1-8.
The Reds' first three road series were against the Cardinals, Pirates and Nationals, three teams that are often tough at their home parks.
"We lost a couple of real tough games at Pittsburgh we probably should have won," Baker said. "Sometimes [it depends on] when you play them [than] on how you're doing or not doing.
"It's impossible to win big without winning on the road."
