Reds fall apart in 9th inning in 6-2 loss to Yankees

The Cincinnati Reds were on their way to playing in their 19th 1-run game of the season tonight. Heading into the top of the 9th, they trailed the New York Yankees 3-2 and had knocked on the door a couple of times already. But, when you’re going deep into an injury-depleted bullpen, runs tend to get scored. And runs got scored. Silvino Brancho was called on to pitch the 9th, which was a decision that was made, and had a chance to get out of the inning. With 2 outs and an 0-2 count on Oswaldo Cabrera, Brancho lost his command and walked him.
