Cincinnati Reds bullpen struggles in back-to-back losses to Marlins
Summary

The Cincinnati Reds lost consecutive games against the Miami Marlins over the weekend at Great American Ball Park. Reliever Tejay Antone faced challenges, allowing three earned runs in the eighth inning of Saturday's 8-4 defeat and serving up a go-ahead home run in a 7-1 loss on Sunday. The Reds' bullpen has been heavily impacted by injuries and underperformance, continuing to struggle throughout the season as they drop back into last place in the NL Central after the series. Manager Terry Francona's team faces ongoing issues as only a few pitchers remain healthy enough to contribute meaningfully.
