This feels like a good morning to wake up a Reds fan, as there’s good news: Cincinnati beat the Rockies 6-3 to split a four-game series in Colorado; better news: Eugenio Suarez had three hits, Adam Duvall hit his 20th home run and added an RBI double, and Scooter Gennett scored two runs; and the best news: rookie pitcher Sal Romano will not go on the disabled list after picking up his first MLB win.
There was also just plain, ol’ news, or maybe a lack of it, too, as first-round draft choice Hunter Greene hasn’t yet put pen to contract with a 5 p.m. deadline today for non-college senior drafted players to ink up.
Here are a dozen or so highlights from the Reds’ 13-hit game, including a chat with Romano sporting the black eye he picked up in a clubhouse celebration afterward:

On a sobering note, while there was at least one loosely-hinged Tweet by a fan suggesting that Greene had signed with the Reds and that he offered an Instagram post of a celebration, that post was not found by at least one correspondent, and just a couple hours after the Reds' game, this skittered across the social media universe @m_sheldon:

As the Reds and their fans await Greene’s signing and arrival in the minor leagues, there comes good news from down on the farm(s):
