Reds' Tough Loss and Injury Blow | Cincinnati Reds News

The Reds took a brutal 9-0 beating at hands of Arizona, their third shutout this month and sixth loss in eight games. Pitcher Nick Lodolo struggled mightily, surrendering six earned runs in just over three innings while battling an ineffective changeup — but he experimented with a new curveball grip that showed early promise. The day got worse when outfielder Michael Toglia dislocated his shoulder in the first inning; manager Terry Francona said the injury may not be as severe as it appeared, but they’re waiting to see how Toglia feels before deciding next steps. Compounding the woes, utility player Spencer Steer’s season is likely done after being sidelined since late July, and Blake Dunn remains out until 2027 — leaving the Reds’ outfield dangerously thin. With August scoring struggles mounting, the team’s wild card hopes are slipping further away. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
