The Reds were hoping to leave our nationals capital with a series split with the Washington Nationals. They didn’t come close to that. The Reds were crushed 12-1 on Sunday. Stephen Strasburg no-hit the Reds through 6.2 innings, but was mercifully pulled because he was at 109 pitches coming off the DL. Ramon Cabrera saved the Reds from being no-hit for a second time in 2016 with a base hit in the 8th inning off former Red, Matt Belisle.
John Lamb’s terrific month of June didn’t translate into July. Lamb had a 3.09 ERA in six starts in June.
