Reds handed the Brewers the first two games of the series and tried to give away game three but Jose Trevino and Austin Hays saved them. A loss today would have been season-devastating.  Brewers' 14-game winning streak ends. Reds remain the only team in MLB to have not been swept this season.

  I agree a loss today, especially after leading 1-0 with one out in the ninth, would have been hard to mentally overcome. But they gutted this one out, and should at least be in a good mental frame of mine as they head west for a crucial nine-game road swing to face the Angels, Dodgers and D’backs.  If the Mets lose in the Little League Classic tonight, the Reds would still only be a half-game out of the wild card.

In years past, the West Coast is where Reds teams have gone to die. Let's hope they are still among the baseball living when they return home from the Arizona desert a week and a half from now.

They will still alive.

I would love to have 5 of 9 on this trip. 2/3 in Anaheim,  minimum of  1/3 in LA , and 2/3 in Arizona.    Win tonight and they already have the 2 in Anaheim.
