The Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals just wrapped their second doubleheader in two days. For the mathematically inclined, that means they played 4 games total between Saturday and Sunday, which is exhausting just thinking about.
They blew one on Sunday afternoon, giving up another lead in a walk-off 4-3 loss. They managed to salvage a game on Sunday evening, however, meaning they won’t have to walk away completely deflated. That one was a 5-3 victory that included the bullpen really, actually holding down a lead for a win. Progress!
In lieu of breaking down all the procedural details, here’s an overlook at what went right, what didn’t, and what’s up next for these Reds.
