The Reds obtain OF Jim Edmonds from the Brewers in a trade for OF Chris Dickerson. The 40-year-old Edmonds is hitting .286 after sitting out all of last season. His presence doesn’t help as the Reds drop the first game of a crucial three-game series with the Cardinals at home, losing 7 – 3. The Cards score all their runs off rookie Mike Leake in the 4th, highlighted by Skip Schumaker’s first major league grand slam, to pull within one game of division-leading Cincinnati.
