The thing is, though, they still did not win tonight. The Milwaukee Brewers took care of that end of the transaction, thanks to some early high pitch counts from Tyler Mahle and some timely hitting on their part.
It dropped the Reds to a miserable, unfathomable, hardly readable 3-20 on the season, a fumble so bad to start the season that the next five months have already become unwatchable before we ever got around to thinking about them.
