SAN DIEGO – The Cincinnati Reds seemingly never play well on their West Coast road trips, but this was a different level of futility.
They went winless in their seven games in Southern California. They ended the road trip with a 6-0 loss to the San Diego Padres on Wednesday, the first time they were shut out this season. They held two leads during the entire road trip and neither lasted more than eight minutes.
The Reds have a 2-11 record, the worst in baseball. It’s the first time the Reds have lost nine consecutive games since June 9-18, 2017, and now they’re already six games back in the divisional standings.
