Reds lead 1-0 and a couple notes

The Reds took a 1-0 lead on Brandon Phliips' third home run of the year. Phillips, by the way, broke out the box like Bob Hayes. Jerry Narron's words to Phillips after he watched his drive Tuesday worked.

It would be 1-1, if not for Ken Griffey Jr. stealing a home run from Luke Scott in the top of the second. Griffey's gloves went a foot or so above the wall to make the grab. Also:

--My man, Mike "Flea" Ball, had me check if Monday's attendance was lowest in GABP history. It was. The game drew 12,521. The previous low was 13,351 on Sept. 6, 2005. Thanks to George French, one of PR interns, for looking that up.

--Wayne Krivsky on the Hopper-Moeller move: “Hopper’s healthy,” Krivsky said. “He’s been playing well. A decision had to make whether to option him to Louisville or bring him up. We thought the timing was right.”

--Jeff Conine is slightly injured. Not sure what it is. But that's why he came out of Monday's game. Narron wasn't sure whether Conine would be avaible tonight or not.
