Kyle Farmer, the forgotten piece of the trade that sent Homer Bailey out of town, ended the Cincinnati Reds 30-inning scoreless drought. While it felt like this nightmare was never going to end, Reds Country can rest easy knowing that the team finally scored some runs.
It’s not all rainbows and sunshine, however, as the Cincinnati Reds fell to the Pittsburgh in extra innings 6-5. Raisel Iglesias, after back-to-back innings, went out for the 10th and surrendered the game winning run.
The Cincinnati Reds have lost seven straight games and haven’t won since a crowd of 44,000-plus at Great American Ball Park watched Luis Castillo dominate these very same Pittsburgh Pirates and Derek Dietrich become a hero overnight.
