Cincinnati Reds bullpen blows another lead to Miami Marlins as Reds lose eighth of nine.

Josh Bell's, second home run of the game, a three-run shot in the eighth off Sam Moll, tied it. And Bryan De La Cruz's homer leading off the ninth against All-Star closer Alexis Diaz won it.

And just like that, the Cincinnati Reds went from winning a series behind stellar starting pitching to losing 5-4 to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday – they're eighth loss in nine games.

In the process, the Marlins leap-frogged the sinking Reds in the wild-card standings as the Reds take a day off Thursday before heading to Pittsburgh for a quick three-game road trip against the Pirates.
