Since falling a season-worst six games under .500 on May 29, the Cincinnati Reds have posted a 19-12 record to stay afloat in the National League Central.
The tough part is that they’ve dropped one game in the standings during that span because the first-place Milwaukee Brewers have been the NL’s best team for the past month. The Brewers entered Saturday on a 10-game winning streak, the club’s longest since 2003.
The Reds hit the midway point in their season after Friday’s 2-1 win against the Chicago Cubs in front of a sold-out crowd of 40,854. The Reds have a 41-40 record and sit 6.
