Update from political reporter/lifetime Reds fan Howard Wilkinson:

Portman’s presence at RFK Stadium for the Reds’ 6-5 win over the Nationals was noted on the air by Reds broadcaster Marty Brennaman, who said Portman was sitting with Tom Williams, one of the partners in the Reds’ ownership group. Brennaman obviously was happy to see them, calling them both "class acts.’’ Portman and Williams stopped by the radio booth later in the game to say hello to Brennaman and his radio partner, Steve Stewart.

Update from Washington correspondent and Nats fan Malia Rulon:

Portman also was sitting with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Joe Hagin, an Indian Hill native who worked with Portman in the first Bush administration.
