We need not burden ourselves with too many specifics from today’s epic clash between the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves. The Braves scored 7 times, the Reds scored 6, and a packed house in Great American Ball Park played witness to a pair of teams who just seem poised to do this a lot more often before the final pitch of the 2023 postseason.
The Reds saw their 12 game win streak end, and what a win streak it was. Worry not, however, as nothing we saw today was any different than what propelled them to that dozen games of glory - they battled back, they battled late, they battled to the bitter end, with Jake Fraley and Will Benson coming off the bench mid-game and both swatting 9th inning dingers off former Red Raisel Iglesias to bring the heart palpitations to an epic beat.
