Result:
LOSS

How do you go from having a 7-0 lead entering the bottom of the eighth to losing 9-8? You give up a grand slam home run with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth. That was a crushing defeate for Cleveland and a lifter for the Reds. Ot was the fourth win in their last five games while Cleveland has now lost two straight and three of five. Cleveland is now 2-7 as a road favorite of -125 or higher this season and 5-11 following a game in which 15 total runs were scored. Cliff Lee is excellent but the Reds pound lefties (6 runs per game with .361 OBP). Going with the hotter team against the team that has to be feeling terrible after last night.
