Keep winning and keep hoping, that’s all the Cincinnati Reds can do.
The Reds battled early and often to claw out an 11-7 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday evening, brushing off an awful start by starter Hunter Greene (7 ER in 3.0 IP) to pound out enough homers to take home a vital win. They still sit on the outside of the National League playoff race looking in, however, with each of the Miami Marlins and Chicago Cubs needing to stumble for the Reds to sneak in.
The help they need must be a secondary focus, however, as they just need to keep winning to make even that matter.
