Ramirez picked up the loss in relief Thursday against the Padres, allowing two runs on two hits, the big hit coming on a two-run homer by Derek Norris.
Ramirez poured gasoline on the fire again, giving up his seventh homer of the season already. The Reds' bullpen has been historically bad this season, though they had improved as a group in June. Absent a dominant showing against the Braves a week ago, Ramirez hasn't joined in on that improvement.
