How Cincinnati Reds' early West Coast pains might turn into late gains via schedule fluke

SEATTLE – About the best thing the Cincinnati Reds might have to say about traveling 2,000 miles from home only to play in the cold, get sick and lose a series is that they won’t have to worry about any more of these tough West Coast swings after the middle of May.

It doesn’t do much in the moment to lessen the sting of losing a series for the third time in their last four sets – this one cinched with Tuesday night’s 3-1 loss to the Mariners with the ballpark roof open and the Seattle temperatures dropping into the 40s with the setting sun.
