Reds late inning comeback falls short against the Royals

The return of Wade Miley lasted as long as the first start of Wade Miley – 1.2 innings. But this time that only resulted in one run before the bullpen had to come on. It’s unclear if it was a result of an injury at this point or not, but either way the Reds had to go to the bullpen in the second inning. Kansas City played add on over the next four innings, taking a 5-0 lead. But the home team put together a rally in the 7th with three homers to make it 5-4. The team got plenty of runners on base in the next two innings but couldn’t come through with a hit when they needed it, leaving the bases loaded with a game ending double play.
