If there are two things that have become routine around Great American Ball Park over the last [insert painfully large number of seasons], they’re that the Cincinnati Reds pitching depth is going to be tested beyond fail point and that Anthony Rizzo is, more often than not, going to do the testing.
Both were true in Saturday’s loss to the New York Yankees, as a 10th inning blast by the former Chicago Cub home-plate-stander-onner put the game on ice.
What’s frustrating is that the game began on a high note in an outing not initiated by any of Hunter Greene, Graham Ashcraft, or Nick Lodolo.
