Gold Gloves

Here's a stat for you: The Reds lead the majors in fielding percentage over the last 30 days. They're at .990 and have made only 10 errors, the least in MLB.

It seemed to me they've been better lately. I asked Pete Mackanin what he thought about the defense.

"It hasn't been a hindrance," he said. "Nothing jumps out at me."

The Reds are ninth overall in the NL. They were second last last year.
