Wednesday was yet another glimpse into what this Cincinnati Reds club could be if all things continue to point in the positive direction.
Matt McLain smashed the ball all over the field (and out of it entirely), while Elly De La Cruz did, too. Christian Encarnacion-Strand socked a homer, and the offense looks not just healthy, but locked-in already.
On Thursday the Reds will add-back Austin Hays to the lineup, who homered twice two games ago before having yesterday off after Tuesday’s collective day-off. Tuesday’s game silence may well be why we’re already seeing both Elly and McLain right back in the lineup today, their first chance to get action on back to back days of the spring.
