The 2022 Cincinnati Reds played more baseball today, because that’s what the Cincinnati Reds do. The 2022 Cincinnati Reds lost again today, because that’s apparently just what The Castellinis’ 2022 Cincinnati Reds are going to do.
It was close when it was 0-0, but not after.
There were extra-base hits, but not by the Reds.
The Padres walked more times (6) than they struck out (4), while the Reds fanned 13 times on the day. And lest you blame it all entirely on a youth movement, San Diego had rookie pitcher Mackenzie Gore on the mound, too.
