Two wins. Five losses. That’s not how anyone envisioned the start to the Cincinnati Reds season in 2020, but that’s exactly where things stand after the first week. The Detroit Tigers are looking unstoppable, the Reds bullpen continued looking terrible, and the offensive struggles returned after a big day on Wednesday night against the Cubs.
The Offense
Cincinnati didn’t record a hit until the 5th inning and they were trailing 1-0. It was doubles machine Nick Castellanos doing what he does – doubling – to break up the no-hitter that was being thrown by Spencer Turnbull.
