A HR ties it.
On the other hand, he has no one to blame but himself letting Castro get on base and then leaving a gopher ball out there (after falling behind 2-0 -- inexcusable) for a career minor leaguer to take him yard.

It's been a problem with the Reds all season -- lack of focus on the mound in key situations. Bailey's had a lot of "feel sorry for him" starts where the same thing happened -- one moment's lack of focus leads to a ball that gets crushed and costs him an otherwise good start.

Leake was his own worst enemy in the 9th.
