The good vibes were flowing for the Cincinnati Reds. Fresh off a four-game broom cleaning of the St. Louis Cardinals, the Reds took a 1-0 lead into the fourth inning on a Shogo Akiyama RBI single. Sonny Gray looked as dominant as ever with five strikeouts.
Sonny Gray could not finish his warm up tosses before starting the fourth inning and had to leave.
The battered Reds bullpen had to cover seven innings. They were not completely terrible, allowing five runs over six innings, but the loss of Gray might have deflated the Reds offense.
