Raisel Iglesias, who’d been dominant of late for the Cincinnati Reds, couldn’t notch his 27th save of the season last night. Instead, the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied in the ninth inning and hung Iglesias with his ninth loss of the season. The Reds lost 3-2 in the series opener against the Buccos.
We’ll leave the debate of the Player’s Weekend uniforms you all, but there’s no debating the poor offensive performance of the Cincinnati Reds in the team’s latest one-run loss. The Reds are 19-26 in one-run games this season. No other team has more than 23 (Toronto Blue Jays) one-run losses on the season and the San Francisco Giants (29) lead the league in one-run wins.
