The Nationals swept the Reds to open the season. Since then, the Nats have won just three more games than the Reds and have a losing record. On Opening Day, Max Schurzer (6 IP, 0 ER) out-dueled Homer Bailey (6 IP, 1 ER). Tonight was a continuation of that dominance.
The Reds have now lost three in a row and are 5-8 since the All-Star break. They play three more games this weekend in Washington.
If you blinked, say sometime around the trade deadline, you might have missed the Reds Winning Culture™.
Cincinnati Reds 4(48-61) • Washington Nationals 10 (55-53)
Tyler Mahle turned in another poor start.
