ST. LOUIS The past few days have not been kind to the Reds.On Saturday, their game with the Rockies in Denver was postponed by a water main break that shut down the restrooms and conce sion stands in Coors Field. That meant they had to play a doubleheader on Sunday.In the opener, Ron Santo Jersey the Rockies rallied for five runs in the ninth inning when Reds closer Aroldis Chapman couldnt find the plate he walked all four batters he faced and Drew Stubbs closed the game with a three-run homer off J.J. Hoover, who relieved Chapman.In the second game, the Reds Adbert Alzolay Jersey grabbed a 5-2 lead after 6 1/2 innings,but Colorado rallied for three in the bottom of the seventhand five more in the eighth. The Rockies'Michael Cuddyer hit for the cycle.Then, the Reds had to get to St. Louis. They didnt arrive at their hotel until 4 a.m. CT. Then, after rallying from a 3-0 deficit to take the lead and Javier Baez Jersey then scoring in the ninth off Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal to send the game to extras, they lost in the 10th on a walkoff hit by Jhonny Peralta.The lone bright spot might be that Tuesdays game isnt an afternoon contest, so at least theyll finally be able to get a little bit of non-airplane sleep. I know nobody Sammy Sosa Jersey wants to hear this, but these guys play hard, manager Bryan Price said from the visiting managers office in Busch Stadium. I know nobody wants to hear that when youre three games under .500 and youre fading in the division right now. Nobody wants to hear it. But I tell you, they fight every day. Considering how we lost those two games yesterday and got in late, at 4 oclock this morning to the hotel. And they came out early to the ballpark, busted their tails and lost in extra innings in a tough way. It stinks to lose, but Im proud of our guys.The awful Sunday and Monday experiences not just lo ses, but thoroughly deflating defeats continue a stretch that has Fergie Jenkins Jersey seen the Reds slip toward the fringes of playoff contention.Theyve lost eight of their past 10 games and are now 61-64. That puts them nine games out of the NL Central lead that wont happen and five full games out of the second Jason Heyward Jersey wild-card spot (which the Giants own. The Braves, Pirates and Marlins are ahead of Cincinnati in that climb.So, yes, its been a bad few days for the Reds.
