CLEVELAND – The Reds couldn’t create much offense in eight innings against Cleveland Indians starter Trevor Bauer on Tuesday.
Against the Indians bullpen? Now that’s a different story.
With the bases loaded and two outs in the top of the ninth inning, Joey Votto smacked a three-run double to the wall in right-center for the go-ahead runs in a 7-4 comeback win at Progressive Field in front of 21,908 fans.
Indians closer Cody Allen replaced Bauer in the ninth inning with a four-run lead. With two outs, seven straight Reds hitters reached base to waste Bauer’s masterful performance.
