The game was marked by a significant struggle for the Reds' offense, which saw them achieving a batting average of just .069 and an on-base percentage (OBP) of .069 as well. The team's performance at bat was underwhelming with only 2 hits throughout the entire game and failing to convert any runs. The lone bright spot in their hitting statistics was managing one extra-base hit but still ending up leaving five runners on base (LOB).
