The Cincinnati Reds were cruising. Fresh off a 3-1 victory last night, the Reds jumped out to a 5-0 lead against the Colorado Rockies and looked to be well on the way to taking another series. Graham Ashcraft was dealing and didn’t look like giving up the lead was even a consideration. Then, the bottom of the 5th came along. Ashcraft gave up 3 straight singles to load the bases and then walked in his first run of the game. It’s fine, stuff happens. Then a 2-run double double by Jurickson Profar cut the Reds’ lead to 5-3. After a Kris Bryant line out, Elias Diaz singled to center to tie the game.
