After winning five series in a row, the Dodgers have now lost two series in a row following an 9-0 blowout loss to the Reds today.
They were never in the game and fall to 8-7 after the All-Star break.

Michael Grove gave up all eight runs but did get six innings to help save pen innings, wearing this one for 96 pitches.
All the highlights belonged to the Reds, including this moment of levity.
