 Cincinnati's bullpen allowed 11 earned runs in a four-game series against San Francisco, posting a 7.43 ERA. Entering that series the Reds' bullpen had a 3.23 ERA, best in the National League.

 The Athletics finished their nine-game road trip going 1-8, scoring four or fewer runs in all eight losses. They hit .211 in those nine games, including hitting .175 with the bases empty.

 The Reds are 7-3 over the Athletics since 2010 despite being outscored, 32-30, in those games. Of those seven wins for Cincinnati, six were decided by two or fewer runs.

 Nick Senzel (23-311 days) hit two home runs, both in the first two innings, on Monday, becoming the third-youngest Reds player with two home runs in the first two innings behind Jay Bruce on July 2, 2008 (21-90) and Johnny Bench on July 26, 1970 (22-231).

 Matt Chapman has slashed .315/.418/.704 when batting third in the lineup this season. That 1.122 OPS when batting third is the second highest in MLB, trailing only Anthony Rendon (1.220, minimum 50 PA).

 Oakland has lost six of its last eight interleague games, including losing two of three games to Pittsburgh over the weekend. Cincinnati has lost eight consecutive games against AL opponents -- only Seattle (nine) has a longer active losing streak in interleague play.

It took Stephen Piscotty 511 major league games to deliver his first walk-off hit.
And because that drought is over, the Oakland Athletics are in position to sweep a three-game set from the visiting Cincinnati Reds when the series concludes Thursday afternoon.

A's aim for three-game sweep of Reds

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  Tanner Roark has been so effective since tinkering with his mechanics and going with a quicker delivery that the Cincinnati right-hander realized things were off when he slowed down in the fourth inning.
It didn't take long for Roark to speed up again and get back on track, setting the tone for Cincinnati's first win against an American League team this season.
