Jay Bruce had an RBI single in the fourth and a two-run double in the 10th to lead the Reds to a 5-3 win over the Marlins on Thursday.

All of those angry tweets obviously got Bruce going. He is hitting .308 with two homers and 13 RBI in 12 games this month after coming in at .252 with one homer and 11 RBI during a rough month of April.

Jay Bruce went 3-for-5 with a homer and two RBI Saturday as the Reds beat the Brewers by a score of 13-7.

Could the 26-year-old outfielder finally be emerging from his prolonged early-season slump? He hit a solo shot to right-center in the bottom of the second inning and had two doubles in the third. He entered the game with a .247/.298/.367 batting line and came out of it hitting .258/.307/.406. Look for more of the same going forward.

After being dropped to sixth Sunday, Jay Bruce was back in the fifth spot in the order Monday, but he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts against the Cardinals.

It looked like Bruce was pointed in the right direction a week ago, but he's fallen back into another slump, having gone seven straight games without an RBI. We doubt it will last, so he looks like a nice buy-low candidate at the moment.

Jay Bruce is batting sixth for the Reds on Sunday.

He's been flip-flopped with Todd Frazier, who sports an .845 OPS as compared to Bruce's .674 mark. "I don't know how long this is for," manager Dusty Baker said of the change. Bruce has just two hits over the previous five games since launching his first homer last Monday.

Jay Bruce knocked in the tying runs and scored the winning run as the Reds edged the Cubs 5-4 in 13 innings Monday.

After the Cubs scored twice in the top of the 13th, Bruce tied it with a two-run double and scored on Cesar Izturis' single to end it. That came six innings after Bruce finally hit his first homer of the season off Travis Wood. That came in his 83rd at-bat. Last year, he hit 34 homers in 560 at-bats, an average of one every 16.5 at-bats.

Jay Bruce hit a walkoff RBI single in the Reds' 1-0 defeat of the Phillies on Wednesday in Cincinnati.

The game was suspended at 0-0 in the bottom of the ninth inning late Tuesday night due to rainy conditions at Great American Ball Park. The Reds got going right away when play resumed on Wednesday evening, with Zack Cozart singling, Joey Votto drawing a walk and Brandon Phillips reaching on a dropped fly ball by Phillies center fielder Ben Revere. Bruce then won it with a bases-loaded single to right field.
