Trent Rosecrans ctrosecrans@enquirer.com GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Mike Leake joked that he was happy to get into a few full counts in his second inning of work on Friday just because it gave him a chance to throw more pitches. Making his spring debut, Leake threw a total of 27 pitches – 12 in the first inning when he gave up a run on two hits and another 15 in the second, when he retired the White Sox in order. Leadoff man Adam Eaton doubled off of Leake to start the game and he was driven in by Adam Dunn, who hit a hard liner off the glove of third baseman Chris Nelson to score the game’s first run. “They were aggressive, so it made it tough to get into a count with them,” Leake said. “The one Dunner hit was a good pitch, but he’s a hitter that likes to jump on that first pitch. I’m not worried about that stuff on the first outing.” What was most important was that Leake felt good afterward, having missed his first start of the spring because of an abdominal issue. “It felt good, they were just aggressive that first inning. My body felt fine,” Leake said. “If this were in-season, I’d be pitching through it, but it’d be stupid to try to work through it in this setting.” Leake said he expects to start when his number comes up again on Wednesday when the Reds travel to Scottsdale to play the Rockies. For now, he’s happy to have been on the mound and feel good. “You can’t really go based off two innings because you’re not getting too deep or facing guys multiple times, so you feel like a reliever for the first few outings,” Leake said. “It’s in a positive direction and I feel good to be back on the field.” Reds starters pitched two innings the first time through the rotation and three the second. Leake said he should have plenty of time to catch up. REMEMBERING JOBE: Reds lefthander Lee Hyde is speaking just for himself, but any number of people in professional baseball could say the same thing about Dr. Frank Jobe, “I wouldn’t be playing if it weren’t for (him).” Jobe died on Thursday, the Dodgers announced. Jobe was the first doctor to perform ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction surgery – better known as “Tommy John surgery.” Hyde, a reliever who pitched at Double-A Pensacola and Triple-A Louisville last season, had the surgery in 2007. The surgery was first performed by Jobe in 1974. Hyde has the tell-tale scar on his left elbow from the surgery that has rescued the career of hundreds of baseball players. Also in the club is Reds righthander Alfredo Simon. “That surgery has done everything for me,” Simon said. “Before I had the surgery, I couldn’t even through a ball. ... After that, nothing’s bothered me.” BEATO IMPRESSES: Reliever Pedro Beato entered Friday’s game having allowed just two hits and no walks over three innings of work, striking out four. “I’ve been really impressed with Pedro Beato, he’s done a nice job,” Price said. “He’s come into camp ready to go, he’s competing for a spot, he’s been sharp with his fastball, breaking ball and split. He’s another guy that’s been an eye-opener for me.” The Reds picked up Beato, 27, off of waivers from the Red Sox in October. Beato, a former Rule 5 pick of the Mets, pitched in 10 games for Boston last season. He was 1-1 with a 3.60 ERA with the Red Sox and 5-3 with a 2.98 in 34 appearances in Triple-A. FATHER TODD: Third baseman Todd Frazier left camp to be with his wife at their home in New Jersey. The couple is expecting their first child soon. ■ %* "-+, $ +' #- #!! $ $ #- $ $ ,- & $ $ $ $ +(+#(#$ $0- 42$ /$4- WHITE SOX 4, REDS 3 THE ARMS Mike Leake gave up a run on two hits in two innings to the White Sox. Aroldis Chapman gave up a run on two hits and a hit batter in his two innings of work. Meanwhile in Peoria, where the Reds defeated the Mariners 10-9, Brett Marshall threw three scoreless innings, allowing four hits and walking three, but striking out four batters. Daniel Corcino’s nightmare of a spring continued, allowing five runs in 2⁄3 of an inning, putting his ERA at 58.50 this spring. THE BATS In Peoria against the Mariners, Chris Heisey hit two home runs, while Brandon Phillips hit his first of the spring. Billy Hamilton walked once and stole two bases against Seattle. In Goodyear, Jay Bruce was 2-for-3 against the White Sox with his first home run of the spring and a double. Roger Bernadina also doubled. THE REST Reds bench coach Jay Bell, hitting coach Don Long and pitching coach Jeff Pico stayed behind in Goodyear with the Reds’ split squad playing the White Sox, while manager Bryan Price went to Peoria with the team facing the Mariners. Moeller graduate Eric Surkamp pitched two scoreless, hitless innings for the White Sox. Reds catchers Brayan Pena and Tucker Barnhart also threw out would-be base stealers, while Pena added a stolen base of his own.

AP FLORALS RETURN By Melissa Rayworth Associated Press After years of simple solids and geometric prints, the flower is making a comeback in decor. Floral patterns have been blooming all over fashion runways in recent months, and they are slowly finding their way back into the world of home decorating, too. It wasn’t long ago that any mention of floral upholstery or wallpaper brought back memories of 1980s cabbage roses, flowery Shabby Chic borders stenciled high on bedroom walls. But today’s new patterns can be a refreshing antidote to the minimalist patterns that have dominated home decorating in recent years. “It’s what we’re all craving,” says New York-based designer Jon Call, founder of Mr. Call Designs. Floral patterns can work well on sleek, modern pieces of furniture, says Betsy Burnham of Los Angeles’ Burnham Design. Rather than choosing a floral sofa that’s rounded and tufted, use floral upholstery on a sofa with straight, clean lines. But be warned that a great pattern can look dated if you pick the wrong color palette, says Brian Patrick Flynn, executive producer of HGTV.com’s “Spring House” series “Florals with mustard yellow and burgundy palettes instantly feel old and stuffy. To make them fresh and fun, look for those with unexpected color palettes, such as black and violet or springy greens and punchy pinks. The pattern will keep its classic appeal, but with a youthful update.” WHAT SIZE? “Scale is the most important factor in modernizing the look and feel of florals,” says Flynn. He suggests avoiding flowers that are depicted at their actual size. Instead, pick patterns where the flowers are bigger — between 50 percent and 200 percent larger than life-size. Call agrees: He’s a fan of using vintage prints in “the largest scale you can find,” so that the print’s eye-popping size contrasts with its traditional style. But Call and Burnham also think floral prints can look modern if they’re printed on a very small scale, especially if they’re used on smaller items like throw pillows. WHICH PATTERN? Find a floral print that really appeals to you personally, Burnham suggests. “Nothing corny, nothing ordinary,” she says. You want “something really special.” You might try “chinoiseries that include figures and florals,” Burnham says, “or flora and fauna... That’s a way to do it if you’re kind of scared of just flowers.” Another option is choosing a pattern Traditional floral wallpaper contrasted with unexpected accessories. AP that’s more “botanical” than flowerfilled. “Homeowners with aversions to super-girly florals featuring rosebuds or elaborate petals may find botanicals a better fit,” says Flynn. ■ The Avant Garden Spring Floral Show at Krohn Conservatory in Eden Park will continue through March 30.
