If losing games by one run is cool, consider the Reds Miles Davis

That record got worse, unfortunately, as Rich Hill and the Pittsburgh Pirates bullpen conspired to send them to a 1-7 record in such affairs with a 2-1 victory at Cincinnati’s expense.
To the credit of Luis Cessa, he responded from the absolute shellacking given him in his last outing to allow just 2 ER in 4.2 IP, with the first run of the game he allowed coming after some iffy defense in CF by Jose Barrero turned a base-hit by Ke’Bryan Hayes into a triple.
