Not even the most optimistic fan of the Cincinnati Reds expected to be playing meaningful baseball on September 20th. After losing 100 games a year ago expectations were not high. Then, multiple injuries occurred and a record number of rookies were asked to play major roles. Those rookies proved to be future stars and the Reds have remained in playoff contention all season long. That remains true, but Wednesday’s loss felt like a potential turning point. A 3-2 lead in the ninthth inning turned into a 5-3 loss which also flipped the series from the Reds to the Minnesota Twins.
