ST. LOUIS – The lineup that carried the Cincinnati Reds for much of the season is now one of the main reasons why they can’t gain any ground in the wild-card race.
Another left-handed starting pitcher spelled trouble for the Reds' offense. They were shutout for the first time since July 21 in their 2-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, dropping two of three games at Busch Stadium.
It’s been three weeks – 22 days – since the Reds won a series, dropping six in a row. That's a lifetime in a playoff race.
