The Cincinnati Reds are at risk of being swept at home by the Oakland Athletics. They were burned in the first two games of the series already, with Oakland smashing seven combined homers to put the Reds at risk of not just ending up with a losing season, but of once again finishing dead last in their already mediocre division.
Seriously, is there ever anything worth playing for in August around these parts?
Julian Aguiar will once again start for the Reds, and at least he’s done a pretty competent patchwork job for the rotation since his mid-August promotion.
