'It hurts tonight': Reds' WC hopes take hit after comeback falls short in extras

CINCINNATI — The Pirates aren't going to the postseason, but their ace, Paul Skenes, is exactly the type of imposing starting pitcher the Reds could see plenty of if they can get there. At the same time on Wednesday, Skenes and Pittsburgh became reasons Cincinnati might also not make it into the playoffs.

Another reason will be the Reds' inability to win in extra innings. After surviving past Skenes and clawing back to tie the game twice late, the Reds were handed a crushing 4-3 loss in a tense 11 innings at Great American Ball Park. Cincinnati is 3-12 this season in extra-inning contests.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Spencer Horwitz hit an run-scoring double in the 11th inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat Cincinnati 4-3 on Wednesday night, preventing the Reds from gaining ground in the race for an NL wild card.

The Reds entered Wednesday's action tied with Arizona, one game behind the New York Mets, in the battle for the third wild card. The Mets lost 10-3 to the Chicago Cubs, and the Diamondbacks faced the Los Angeles Dodgers later Wednesday.

The Pirates took the lead in the 11th when Bryan Reynolds scored his third run of the game on Horwitz's double. In the bottom of the inning, the Reds loaded the bases before Yohan Ramirez got Noelvi Marte to ground into a force play.
