13 days ago, the Cincinnati Reds woke up with a 20-26 record and a 17.1% chance of reaching the postseason.
Tonight, the Reds beat the Minnesota Twins to reach the postseason. The Reds have won 10 of their last 12 games with their backs against the wall.
The Twins were 23-5 at home this season. They had their stud Jose Berrios on the mound tonight. Reds starter Tyler Mahle only lasted 2.1 innings. None of that mattered to this team, they’re on a mission.
Mike Moustakas has been a guy who got off to a really slow start and battled injuries.
