For the second straight day, the Cincinnati Reds found themselves down two runs late in the game. And for the second straight day, the Reds have been able to erase that deficit. Unfortunately, the bullpen wasn’t able to hold on tonight and the Reds were bested in extra innings by the Atlanta Braves in a 5-4 loss.
Not much went on for the first half of the game, as both starting pitchers were able to keep the opposing offenses at bay through the first five innings. Reds’ starter Graham Ashcraft was the first to crack, as the Braves were able to get on the board in the bottom of the 6th.
