Things are just continuing to go from bad to worse for the Cincinnati Reds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After starting the season with a 20-12 record, they are just 25-43 in their last 68 games, and they were handed an 8-0 loss to the Seattle Mariners<\/a> on Monday night.<\/p>\n

But the Reds suffered an absolute facepalm moment in the bottom of the seventh inning, which had already gone awry thanks to Cal Raleigh’s grand slam.<\/p>\n

However, the Reds didn’t get much help afterward. Mariners outfielder Victor Robles hit a grounder to short, and second baseman Edwin Arroyo tried to make a play. However, he found umpire Bill Miller in his way, and the ball squeaked into the outfield while also getting past shortstop Elly De La Cruz.<\/p>\n

Relief pitcher Caleb Ferguson was not happy, shouting obscenities at the umpire and ripping him for his appearance.<\/p>\n

“F\u2014ing fata\u2013! Out of the way motherf\u2014er,” Ferguson, who had just allowed the Raleigh grand slam, appeared to yell at Miller.<\/p>\n

Seattle then had runners on the corners, but the Reds stopped the bleeding.<\/p>\n

Reds manager Terry Francona ordered Ferguson to intentionally walk Dominic Canzone to load the bases and face Raleigh, but the decision totally backfired.<\/p>\n

The slumping catcher<\/a>, who finished in second place in last year’s AL Most Valuable Player voting with his 60-homer season, is hitting just .163 this season, but he pounced on the first pitch and turned on a hanging breaking ball, sending it 408 feet into the left-field bleachers to break the game open. It was just his 10th home run of the season.<\/p>\n

“I know what Raleigh\u2019s hitting and, he still worries me,” the veteran skipper said with a laugh. “But, I thought that was our best chance to have them not score. We could play the infield double-play depth. And, the worst possible outcome happened.”<\/p>\n

Seattle jumped into the AL West lead with the victory, which also brought them to 51-50 on the season. They are trying to find similar success after reaching Game 7 of last year’s American League Championship Series.<\/p>\n
