The Cincinnati Reds were not the victors on Wednesday in their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The bats went silent, starter Mike Minor couldn’t keep zeroes on the board, and it was the kind of lackluster evening that will simply pop up more often than not when a team is in flux the way the Reds are these days.
It was a 7-0 drubbing upon the final recorded out. Minor, in his second start as a Red, was tagged for 3 ER in his 4.1 IP, homers (a pair this time) yet again biting the veteran lefty. Luis Cessa served one up, too, while Art Warren and Hunter Strickland continued their woes with earned runs allowed in relief, too.
