Fresh off of a dismal 1-hit, 1-run outing on Saturday afternoon, the Cincinnati Reds entered play on Sunday riding a 10-game home losing streak, the longest for the club in some 35 years. Their manager had just been tossed in a fiery exchange the day before, Jonathan India was a late scratch, Kyle Farmer was absent with a busted wrist, Tyler Stephenson had a mustache, and aside from Tyler’s mustache everything seemed to be just about as miserable as could be around these parts.
(I say that after they started the season 3-23, mind you.)
Sunday’s game saw Charlie Morton put a hurtin’ on the Reds from the start, too.
