The wind blowing out at Wrigley Field + Bronson Arroyo is not a great combo.
The Reds lost their fourth straight game this evening, and have now fallen back down to .500. Arroyo struggled over five innings, and his relief, Blake Wood, struggled even more. The Reds offense did their part, hitting three home runs of their own, but it was far from enough.
