Reds bullpen blows big lead again to end 5-game win streak

Things were looking really good for the Cincinnati Reds. They looked primed to secure their sixth consecutive win, as they had a 98.7% win probability with a 6-1 lead in the 8th inning.

The Reds bullpen entered play on Tuesday with a 17.0 inning scoreless streak. Tonight, they only needed to cover two innings with a 6-run lead. They could not get it done. Here is how the night went down:

The Reds got the scoring started in the third inning on a Jonathan India 400-foot, RBI double.

A few batters later, Joey Votto tripled to make it 3-0.
