WASHINGTON, D.C. – When the Cincinnati Reds returned to Nationals Park to complete their suspended game Thursday, the crowd had dwindled from thousands to hundreds.
It was a quiet atmosphere. The video board prompts for the fans to yell louder didn’t really have much of an effect.
It was a unique way to begin a stretch where the Reds will play 2 ½ games in 24 hours, but it didn’t take away from the late-game tension in the Reds’ 5-3 loss.
Trailing by five runs in the eighth inning, the Reds tried to mount a comeback against the back of the Nationals’ bullpen.
