The Cincinnati Reds fell behind 4-0 early in this one, and on the heels of losing a billion to a few to the Pittsburgh Pirates in embarassing fashion just a day ago, many of us were scrambling to figure out when the last time the Reds began a season with a meager 1-6 record. Fortunately, that became moot, as Sal Romano settled down well, the Cincinnati bullpen picked him up with ample outs, and the bats in the Reds offense finally were able to string together a series of big hits.
A combination of 7 unanswered runs scored and 16 consecutive Pirates set down highlighted the comeback, and hopefully - hopefully - this is a game the Reds can look back on as one that helped turn their season, rebuild, and our fragile collective confidence around.
