Then again, that's how every game has felt since Elly De La Cruz sustained a hamstring injury two weeks ago. Since then, the Reds have won just three of their last 12 games. Sunday afternoon, the Reds fell to the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-3 for their ninth loss in their last 12 games and dropped to 33-37 on the season.
The Reds have dropped five straight series since taking two out of three against the New York Mets in late May. In addition, the Reds haven't won back-to-back games since May 25-26 at New York.

Tejay Antone, Sam Moll, Zach Maxwell, and Chris Paddack all combined to allow four runs on three hits and two walks. Maxwell took the loss after allowing the game-winning run on a Gabriel Moreno solo home run to right field.
Jun 14, 2026; Cincinnati, Ohio, USA; Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Andrew Abbott pitches against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the first inning at Great American Ball Park. Mandatory Credit: Katie Stratman-Imagn Images | Katie Stratman-Imagn Images The Reds' left-hander didn't have his best stuff Sunday afternoon. That said, he still managed to pitch five innings and allow just one earned run on four hits. Abbott struck out five Diamondbacks' hitters and walked three.
He threw 95 pitches with 54 of them for strikes. Before the game, Reds manager Terry Francona said that the hope is to try and get starting pitchers to pitch deeper into ball games to give the bullpen some much-needed rest. Abbott only pitching five innings Sunday made the bullpen have to cover a lot of innings and a lot of outs.
