The month of August has not been kind to our beloved Cincinnati Reds. They are 1-8 since the beginning of the month and have not played great baseball in the process. The offense, which was such a highlight of the first half, has struggled to get things going and has not been able to take advantage of their speed on the base paths. After missing opportunities against the Miami Marlins earlier this week, a series you could argue that the Reds should have swept, they head to Pittsburgh hoping to turn things around.
Before the Reds play, though, they made a couple moves to try and change things up a little bit both on the roster and in the lineup.
