The Cincinnati Reds had multiple opportunities to defeat the White Sox on Tuesday night. But, baseball is a funny game. The Reds squandered an early 4-0 lead in the first. They carried a 7-2 lead in the fifth and an 8-7 lead in the ninth. The Reds eventually lost the game in extra innings 8-12, with interim manager Jim Riggleman being ejected in the process. Will this loss sit with Reds and cause more to pile up, or will Cincinnati rebound in the rubber match?
Tuesday night’s game against Chicago was a game the Reds should have won.
