The San Francisco Giants suffered a 10-9 defeat against the Cincinnati Reds on August 26, ending a streak of 2,208 consecutive wins when leading by six or more runs in the ninth inning. Entering the final frame with a 9-3 advantage, the Giants allowed a flurry of baserunners and a grand slam from Eugenio Suarez. A series of singles and a sacrifice fly eventually pushed the go-ahead run across the plate for the Reds. The Giants failed to mount a response in the bottom of the ninth, ending the game on consecutive strikeouts from Christian Koss and Drew Cavanaugh. This loss marks the eleventh time this season that the Giants have relinquished a lead in the ninth inning, which leads all Major League Baseball teams.
