Let’s recap tonight’s titanic struggle….
FINAL
Chicago (NL) 9
Cincinnati 1
W: E. Jackson (8-15)
L: T. Cingrani (7-4)
POSITIVES
— Zack Cozart’s seventh inning double extended his hitting streak to 15 games.
NEGATIVES
— Tony Cingrani pitched for almost two innings through back spasms and was removed from the game.
— A series of Reds relief pitchers, none of whom will be on the postseason roster, followed. Greg Reynolds and Curtis Partch were ineffective.
— The Reds scattered ten hits and one walk off the stupid Cubs pitching.
NOT-SO-RANDOM THOUGHTS
— The Reds will never score another run, will never win another game, will never have another decent pitching performance. In fact, they haven’t won any games at all on this home stand, this month or even this season.
— We’ll get ’em tomorrow afternoon.
