The Cincinnati Reds lost the game on Thursday night to the Chicago Cubs, falling to 19-25 on the season. If that weren’t bad enough for a team with high expectations who now has just 16 games remaining and is 3.5 games out of a playoff spot, the team also saw three different players exit the game with injuries.
Outfielder Jesse Winker, who has been the best hitter on the team and one of the best hitters in the National League this year, exited the game with back tightness. No update beyond that was provided following the game.
Mike Moustakas was hit by a pitch in the 4th inning.
