W: Axford (3-3, 3.38)

By now it feels like nothing can go right for the Cincinnati Reds. This was certainly a winnable game, and the Reds had every opportunity to walk away from Coors Field with a W. It was an exciting back and forth game, that ultimately ended with Reds fans shaking their heads in dispair.
The night started well enough for the Reds, who took an early 3-0 lead over the Colorado Rockies in the third inning. Brandon Phillips started the inning with a lead off double, and was driven in by Todd Frazier.
