Everyone knew the Reds had a glaring weakness in the bullpen when the season began, and that proved to be true once again on Monday night.
Starter Brandon Finnegan took a no-hitter through 6.2 frames against the Chicago Cubs before surrendering a hit, but the relief corps couldn’t hold on to a 3-0 lead in the final innings. The loss drops the Reds into second place in the NL Central behind the Cubs at 5-2.
Finnegan shines again
While he didn’t get a win to show for it, Finnegan was the story in this one.
