It was early ugly, and early often for the Cincinnati Reds on Monday in their series opener against the San Diego Padres in Petco Park.
A pair of runs in the Bottom of the 1st put them in an early hole, and Luke Weaver - the Reds starter on the day - eventually exited having allowed 4 ER in 4.1 IP. The Padres eventually plated a trio of runs in the Bottom of the 5th to put the game on ice, adding later runs to get to the 8-3 finish line.
San Diego’s bullpen combined to fire a trio of scoreless frames after Blake Snell fired 6.
