Cordray lost because he was a Democrat running in a red state against a non-controversial Republican.

Brown had an incumbency advantage that Cordray didn't. Compared to Brown, Cordray underperformed in the "Rust Belt" - i.e. northeastern and north-central Ohio. In the current political climate, Democrats must perform reasonably well in this region in order to win statewide (Brown has been the only Democrat to accomplish this after 2012).

To add to specific reasons why Cordray ran so much behind Brown, I want to add that Mike DeWine is a fairly popular (or at least, he was before he angered the normal flank of the base with his insanity around COVID19) political staple and has crossover support, winning a lot of moderates
