Watch: Reds crumble against Cubs in disastrous home loss


Cincinnati Reds play-by-play broadcaster John Sadak was exasperated after they collapsed in a home loss to the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.

“In a season that’s had some very frustrating moments, this is the worst so far and it’s not close,” Sadak said during the FanDuel Sports Network broadcast (h/t Dave Clark of the Cincinnati Enquirer).

The frustrating moment could be hard to top. Entering the top of the sixth inning, the Reds led, 8-3. The Cubs proceeded to score eight unanswered runs. 

Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner drove in two runs with a double in the top of the seventh inning. He also scored a run off a wild pitch in the sixth and a single from first baseman Michael Busch in the seventh.  

Things continued to snowball for the Reds in the eighth inning. Cubs catcher Reese McGuire — who was called up from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday — homered to right field on a 78 mph sweeper from Reds relief pitcher Taylor Rodgers.
