Reds offense stays ice cold, Bailey struggles in loss to Pirates

If you didn’t catch tonight’s game, you didn’t miss much. The Reds briefly had a 1-0 lead, but that was about the only moment of excitement on Thursday night in the first road game of the season against the Pirates.

The Hitters

Woof.

Against a pitcher with a 4.56 career ERA and 5.11 xFIP, the Reds could get nothing going on offense. While they did manage five walks on the night — three from Tucker Barnhart — the club managed just five hits on the night. Only one of those knocks, an Adam Duvall solo home run in the eighth, was an extra-base hit.
