The Cincinnati Reds hit a trio of 5th inning homers on Monday.
A trio! Of homers!
Said action was the high point of what was ultimately another throttling at the hands of an opponent, however, as the St. Louis Cardinals laid waste to the Reds in a 13-4 game that never had much of a chance in Reds-land. St. Louis raced out to an 8-0 lead after ‘starter’ Chase Anderson managed just 4 recorded outs, and the division leaders never truly looked back.
The Cincinnati Reds, oft mighty in years of yore and hardly relevant since, fell to 50-77 on their season with the loss.
