TONIGHT'S GAME: Is Game 2 (1-0) of a 3-game series vs Shannon Dalton's Mets and Game 2 (1-0) of the final homestand of the championship season that also includes an upcoming 3-game weekend series vs Pit.

SERIES NOTES: In 12g over the last 2 seasons Reds pitchers have produced a 2.33era vs the Mets (108ip, 28er), including a 2.50era by starters (79.1ip, 22er) and a 1.88era by relievers (28.2ip, 6er)…Reds starters have not allowed more than 4 earned runs in game vs NYM since Homer Bailey allowed 9er in 4.0 innings on 7/28/11 at Great American Ball Park...Joey Votto has an 8-game hitting streak vs NYM (13-28, .464, 2hr)...Votto's .359 career BA vs NYM (46-128, 13hr, 27rbi) is his second-best mark vs any National League opponent (Ari, .373).

WALKING OFF: For the second time in 4 seasons, the Reds reached a Postseason berth on a walkoff hit...in 2010, Jay Bruce clinched the Central Division championship with a walkoff HR off Hou's Tim Byrdak...was only the fifth HR in Major League history that clinched a team's Postseason berth...in the bottom of the 10th inning last night, Shin-Soo Choo's RBI-single off Sean Henn gave the Reds a 3-2 win and a Wild Card berth.

90 WINS: At 90-67 the Redlegs have won 90 games for the third time in the last 4 seasons (91-71 in 2010, 79-83 in 2011, 97-65 in 2012)...have won 90 games in consecutive years for the first time since 1978-79 (92, 90) and did it 3 times in a 4-year span for the first time since 1976-79 (102, 88, 92, 90)...in the 1970s the Reds won at least 90 games 8 times, their most 90-win seasons in any decade...the Braves and Athletics are the only other teams to win at least 90 games in each of the last 2 seasons...they could be joined by the Rays (87-90).

DOT, DOT, DOT...: Jay Bruce's 44 home runs vs LHP over the last 4 seasons are the most in the Major Leagues...Joey Votto has 996 career hits and Shin-Soo Choo has 197 doubles...with his fifth walk last night, Votto tied both the club record for walks in a game (Hughie Critz, 5/28/26 at StL & Johnny Bench, 7/22/79 at Chi) and single-season club record for walks in a season (132, Joe Morgan, 1975)...in the 11-0 win on 7/22 at SF, Mark Berry made his season debut in the third base coaching box following 7 weeks of treatment for throat cancer...on 9/5 he was declared cancer-free.

IN THE STANDINGS: At 90-67 the Reds are a season-high 23g over .500...have won 6 of their last 7g, 7 of their last 9g and 14 of their last 20g...for the third time in 4 days are tied for second place with the Pirates...with Fri's win at Pit moved into second place for the first time since 6/20, snapping a streak of 90 consecutive days in third,...since they last led the NL Central, on 4/22, the Reds have spent the last 153 days in second, third or fourth place...their 7.0-game deficit on 8/8 was their largest since they finished the 2011 season 17.0g out...Cin's largest deficit last year was -5.0g on 4/18.

MILESTONES: Jay Bruce (107) and Brandon Phillips (102) are the first set of Reds teammates with 100 RBI each in a season since Johnny Bench and George Foster did it in 1977...was accomplished for the 14th time in franchise history...Joey Votto (132) and Shin-Soo Choo (109) are the first set of Reds teammates with 100 walks each in a season since Joe Morgan (120) and Pete Rose (106) did it in 1974...was accomplished for the fourth time in club history...the trio of Bronson Arroyo (14-11), Mat Latos (14-6) and Mike Leake (14-6) is the first Reds trio with 14 wins each since 1975 (Jack Billingham 15-10, Don Gullett 15-4, Gary Nolan 15-9).

VOTTO: Joey Votto leads the National League in walks, intentional walks and on-base percentage...is trying lead the NL in walks for the third straight season and in OBP for the fourth straight year...since 1900 would become the first batter in Reds history and the ninth player to lead the National League in walks for 3 straight seasons (Barry Bonds last, 2000-2004)...would become the first Red and sixth player in Major League history to lead his league in on-base percentage for 4 straight years (Barry Bonds, Rogers Hornsby in NL; Wade Boggs, Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig in AL).

BRUCE: With 42 doubles, 30 HR and 107 RBI, Jay Bruce is just 3 doubles shy of becoming only the 46th player in Major League history to produce a season of at least 45 doubles, 30 HR and 100 RBI...fellow Beaumont, Texas native Frank Robinson is the only Reds player to do it, in 1962 (51 2b, 39hr, 136rbi).

HOME SWEET HOME: The Reds are 49-26 (.653) at home, 1 win shy of the Great American Ball Park record established last season (50-31, .617)...lost 1 home date to a rainout on 7/4 vs SF, a game played on 7/23 at AT&T Park...last year's 50 home victories was the Reds' highest total since 1992 at Riverfront Stadium (53-28)...the club record for home wins in a season is 64 in 1975 (64-17, .790)...this season the Reds are 16-7-1 in 24 home series...Reds pitchers recorded at least 11 strikeouts at home 22 times.

COUNTING HEADS: With a season total of 2,315,993 the Redlegs are approaching the Great American Ball Park attendance record of 2,355,259 established in its inaugural 2003 season...the team will break that mark tomorrow afternoon.
