Mahle, bats lead Reds to first series victory

The Reds finally got a series win on Sunday with an 8-2 victory over the Twins while collecting 14 hits at Target Field, giving them wins in two of three games in Minnesota. Looking over the last week, 7-21 Cincinnati posted a 4-3 record against Atlanta and Minnesota, while scoring 51 runs. (The Reds also won a one-game, rain-shortened series over the Cubs the first week of the season.
