After losing by a lone run in their final loss of the road series in Philadelphia, the Cincinnati Reds traveled to Atlanta only to lose all three games of their series vs. the Braves by one run, respectively.
It was painful, if you let it be. This season is all about the future and not today, remember, but getting that close that many times in a single week only to have the tables turned does tend to get a bit frustrating regardless of circumstance.
Their streak of three straight losses of any kind ended in yesterday’s win over Philadelphia, but they carried a streak of ‘all the of the last four games they had lost had been of the one-run variety’ into Friday’s game against Philly still.
