The positivity from proving that in a 3-game series the depleted Cincinnati Reds won’t always be worse than the perennially inept Pittsburgh Pirates was refreshing. We all needed that desperately, to be quite honest, and it made for a fun reset of a weekend.
Last night’s win over the Milwaukee Brewers was downright fun, even. The Reds put the screws to some Milwaukee meatballs and walked away the better thumpers for a night.
Tuesday was a different story, however, one that we’re going to probably have to revert back to accepting for the near term. Despite the best efforts of young Hunter Greene and a 2-run double by Tyler Naquin in an 8th inning rally, the Reds fell to that same Milwaukee club fronted by Freddy Peralta in 5-4 fashion.
