after coming from behind to tie the game with two homers in the bottom of the 9th by Hairston and Owings (his was a pinch hit HR) only to lose it in the 10th. But, the Reds took 2 of 3 from the Cardinals. The loss drops the third place Reds to 17-14 .548 -2.5. It was a thrilling game and the Reds took it to the Cardinals. Today's loss isn't so hard to take considering they won the series from the Cardinals and went down with a lot of fight today. This is a exciting and wild team and I am enjoying their season quite a bit and I hope you are too.
