The Cincinnati Reds claimed a 5-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday, and since that’s one win in a three-game series that has not yet finished, math dictates that a series victory is still on the table. Who knew?!
Of course, for the Reds to make that a reality this evening, they’ll need an excellent start from Mike Minor. Sadly, “excellent start” and “Mike Minor” have been phrases seen together this season about as often as Tyler Stephenson and Hunter Greene in the same starting nine. The veteran lefty, however, will get yet another shot at showing he’s still got something left in the tank heading into free agency, though I’d advise those planning to attend tonight’s game to buy some tickets in the left-field bleachers.
