The Reds paid tribute to Pete Rose, a day after baseball’s career hits leader was removed from MLB's permanent ineligibility list.

The Cincinnati Reds (20-24) fell to the Chicago White Sox (14-29) 4-2 on Wednesday night. It was Cincinnati's ninth loss in their last 11 games. It was another strong day on the mound for the pitching staff, allowing just four runs. However, with the offense struggling, the Reds are just 5-18 when allowing four or more runs this season.

Rose's life and career were honored at a pair of events across town, including Pete Rose Night at Great American Ball Park.

The Reds have featured some of the game's greatest players and also produced the Big Red Machine during the 1970s
