After Joey Votto set the tone, what looked like it could be the start of a new winning streak turned into a comedy of errors for the Cincinnati Reds. Base running blunders, not knowing the number of outs in an inning, and an inside-the-park home run spelled doom for the Reds as David Bell‘s squad lost their third straight game.
The Reds were certainly off their game on Tuesday night. After jumping ahead 1-0 in the first inning, it looked like Cincinnati was ready to hang a few more runs on the board against the Angels’ starter, but Eugenio Suárez, as we’ve seen a few times this season, made a mistake running the bases and was caught between third base and home plate for the final out of the inning.
