The plight of the Cincinnati Reds bullpen has reached a new low, if that’s even possible. For the third time this week, the Reds’ relief core blew a multiple run lead as they fell to the San Diego Padres for the second game in a row, 9-7.
Ryan Mattheus and Tony Cingrani (again) were the guilty parties in this one. Mattheus entered with the Reds ahead 7-3 in the seventh inning and things started off well enough.
