Man, they were there. I know it was just a day, but they were there. And what a difference a weekend makes. Now the Reds are clinging to a half game lead for the Wild Card (over the Padres), fighting for their lives against the NL West leading Dodgers.
Thursday seemed so long ago, but the Reds won that day. The Reds came back from three down to tie it in the seventh. Then in the eighth, David Ross hit a solo shot to put the Reds ahead for good. Edwin Encarnacion had three hits, two RBIs and one run. Juan Castro drove in two runs in the 6-3 win. Ryan Franklin picked up the win and David Weathers notched his tenth save of the season.
It all went downhill from there. In the next three games, all the Reds could muster were two runs. Ken Griffey hit a solo homerun in the first inning on Friday and then David Ross hit a solo homerun on Saturday. When you score two runs in three days, you’re not going to win too often.
Next up is the Dodgers. I hate the color blue. Hopefully the Reds do too.
