Reds 8, Cubs 2: Official scoring, defensive indifference

I’m going to turn this recap of the Cubs’ 8-2 loss to the Reds Wednesday night into a sort of notes column (sort of like a game preview), because until the Cubs used defensive indifference to break up Cincinnati’s shutout bid, the entire game was pretty indifferent.
