So much for a sweep, Guardians blast Reds

Guardians 11 Reds 2 

Nick Lodolo didn’t have it early, and never found it. Carlos Santana hit a 3rd inning grand slam to make it 5-0, and it only got worse. 

The Reds (35-34) five game win streak is snapped. They take 2 of 3 from the Guardians and win the season series (5-1). 

While the Reds have won 5 of their last 6, losing to Logan Allen (4.42) with Lodolo getting hammered today leaves you at least a little disappointed.
