For the fourth time this season and second time in a row, the Reds have been swept in a series, this time by the Seattle Mariners in a 5-4 loss on Sunday at Great American Ball Park.
Despite getting a first-inning advantage against Mariners starter Wade Miley on a two-run double by Brandon Phillips and a sacrifice fly by Jay Bruce, the Reds weren’t able to hold on, dropping their seventh consecutive game. Making matters worse is the team now has to play 10 straight games away from home, where they are a dismal 3-14 this season.
