The Cincinnati Reds moved past the halfway mark of their season during their 4-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday in the first game of a doubleheader and the number of players on their injured list (16) isn't far from their number of wins (28).
After Mike Minor had an up-and-down outing, striking out a season-high eight batters in 6 1/3 innings, the Reds lost two players to the IL.
Luis Cessa called for a trainer after he threw his 10th pitch in the seventh inning and he was placed on the 15-day IL with a left side injury.
