The Cincinnati Reds dropped another one-run game, this time it was courtesy of a Stephen Piscotty walk-off homer in the 13th. The offense sent 10 players to the plate in the second inning, but failed to score after that. However, it was Sonny Gray‘s erratic start that put the Reds in a tough position from the start.
First, I’m not a fan of the five-man outfield, but that’s not why the Reds lost 4-5 in extra innings to the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night. The Reds’ demise was triggered early the game when the A’s got off to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning because Sonny Gray couldn’t throw strikes.
