One quick glance at the box score from Sunday’s game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Toronto Blue Jays is enough to know it was frustrating. The Reds lost 10-3, lost the home series against the Jays, wrapped up a second consecutive losing homestand, fell to 14-20 since the All Star break, and have now won just 3 of their last 11 games in Great American Ball Park.
They are 5-12 in the month of August, all of which came after the club opted against making significant additions at the trade deadline. They’ve fallen to 64-61, sit 4.
