Reds comeback effort falls short, losing streak reaches five

Zack Cozart really wants a donkey, doesn’t he?

He continued his outstanding season, going 3-for-5 at the plate. Billy Hamilton led the game off with a single, stole second base, and scored on a single by Cozart to give the Reds an early lead (which didn’t last long — more on that later).

In the third inning, the Reds’ shortstop blasted a solo home run into the left field bleachers, giving him a home run in five straight games at Wrigley Field.

The tale of the tape (the wind miiiiight have helped this one a little bit):
