We made it into the month of August playing meaningful Cincinnati Reds baseball. However, the season might finally be slipping away as the Reds have now lost eight of their last nine games. These last two losses at the hands of the Miami Marlins have come in especially excruciating fashion.
On Tuesday night, Jorge Soler hit a two-run home run in the seventh inning to give the Marlins a 3-2 advantage. Then, on Wednesday afternoon, Josh Bell hit a three-run shot to tie the game in the eighth inning. Another home run in the ninth took the rubber match for the Marlins.
