In the midst of a playoff push, the Cincinnati Reds suffered an ugly series loss to the Chicago Cubs. After Monday night’s offensive explosion of 14 runs on 14 hits, the Reds responded with back-to-back one-run performances. On Tuesday and Wednesday, a single solo home run provided the scoring and Cincinnati hit a combined 0-10 with runners in scoring position.
Losing two out of three games to a team playing a lot of minor leaguers is never ideal, but it is all about the wild card standings at this point in the season. At worst, the Reds will go to sleep tonight 2.
