Price unhappy Reds 'let up' in loss vs. Padres

"I don't think we are all supposed to be docile 100 percent of the time and just think that everything is OK when we aren't playing well, so I got angry," Price said.

Cincinnati led 4-0 after three innings, 6-1 after the fourth and 7-3 with two outs in the seventh.

For the fourth time in six games, the bullpen blew a lead in the later innings. And similar to Wednesday's 5-4 walk-off loss at Philadelphia, a four-run lead was given away.

"There were a handful of things," Price said. "We didn't throw strikes. We had a couple of issues on the bases that could have kept innings going, got us another couple of runs, and I don't think there's any team that's good enough not to take advantage of every scoring opportunity and every opportunity to shut down an inning.
