Maybe if a bloop single didn’t fall in or the Braves got a rare win on a replay challenge, they would have left Cincinnati with a series win.
Then again, those bad breaks hardly mattered because Braves pitchers couldn’t keep Reds batters from sending balls out of Great American Ball Park.
The Braves gave away a two-run lead in the sixth inning and faded to a 6-3 loss to the Reds on Wednesday. The Reds didn’t hit a home run while winning a home series against the Brewers last weekend and then clubbed hit six homers while taking two of three games against the Braves (35-60).
