Cincinnati Reds closer Emilio Pagán suffered a third blown save in 9 chances this season, giving up two 9th-inning runs in a 5-4 loss to the Cubs.

The Reds watched a 9th inning lead turn into a walk-off loss in Wrigley.

The Cincinnati Reds dropped to three games behind the first-place Cubs in the National League Central.

Cincinnati Reds closer Emilio Pagán played catch Wednesday and it appears his left hamstring injury isn't as serious as initially feared. “The worry was he’d show up this morning and be really sore,” Reds manager Terry Francona said. Pagán recorded his fifth save in Tuesday night's 2-1 win over the San Francisco Giants.

He’s dealing with some hamstring pain after last night’s save.

The Cincinnati Reds have hopefully avoided any long-term injuries to a pair of pitchers.

“We got to get him checked out,” Reds manager Terry Francona said following the game.

Cincinnati Reds skipper Terry Francona addressed his closer's injury, during the last pitch of the Giants game.

Starting pitcher Brady Singer appeared to avoid a major injury during the April 14 game while closer Emilio Pagán was evaluated post-game.
