Reds Fall Below .500 in Heartbreaker

The Reds’ season hit a rough patch after a heartbreaker against the Cardinals, falling below .500 for the first time this year. Nick Lodolo struggled early, but Matt McLain’s fourth-inning homer gave Cincinnati a lead. Tejay Antone steadied things in the sixth, but Lars Nootbaar’s eighth-inning homer shifted momentum. In a tense ninth with the bases loaded and two outs, Sal Stewart thought he’d drawn a walk — but the call was overturned after review, and he grounded out to seal the loss. Now 31-32, the Reds need to bounce back fast. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
