Tough Day for the Reds

Yesterday, the Cincinnati Reds played against the Philadelphia Phillies. At least, that’s what was supposed to happen, but instead, they ended up hardly playing at all. The Phillies put together a 10-run first inning, and the Reds starting pitcher retired only two batters and got 6 earned runs. The Reds were never to catch up, despite a run in the second. The Phillies then added one in each of the 2nd and 3rd innings, 4 in the 4th and 6 in the 8th to win 22-1. This was the worst loss in team history for the Reds and one of the best performances for the Phillies. The Phillies remain in control of the NL East, having had a very good year so far. The Reds are struggling under the tutelage of Dusty Baker recently, having no big offensive power.
