The Twins and the Reds completed a trade on Monday that sent right-handed pitcher Kyle Lohse to Cincinnati in exchange for Minor League right-handed pitcher Zach Ward. Lohse was 2-5 with a 7.07 ERA in 22 appearances for the Twins this season. A member of the Twins rotation at the start of the year, Lohse made eight starts before being demoted to Triple-A Rochester on May 17 after going 2-4 with an 8.92 ERA. Twins general manager Terry Ryan had been shopping Lohse to other clubs since the demotion. Ward, 22, went 7-0 with a 2.29 ERA and 95 strikeouts in 20 appearances -- 18 starts -- this season with the Class A Dayton Dragons of the Midwest League. Ward was the Reds' third-round selection in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft.
