I would have assumed holding the Reds to two runs would have been good enough to win this game. My bad.
The Rockies losing a game started by Chris Rusin isn't surprising at all. The way they lost it is an entirely different matter however, because the 28-year-old lefty called up for spot start duty gave the Rockies everything they needed to run their win streak to four, and the Reds losing streak to double digits.
Instead, both streaks were snapped as the offense came up empty all night, and especially during high leverage at bats.
