The Good
–The Reds were down 4-0 before they even batted, but Tyler Holt, Eugenio Suarez, and Joey Votto singled to start the bottom half of the first, and the Reds picked up two runs in the inning. It’s probably an over-used cliche, but this Reds team keeps fighting.*
*I know, they’re professionals. What are they supposed to do? Just head back to the clubhouse and say, “We’ll get ’em tomorrow”?
–In the bottom of the fifth, Bryan Price sent Josh Smith to the plate to pinch-hit for Cody Reed. Yes, Josh Smith, the pitcher.
