The suddenly-hot Cincinnati Reds visit the Big Apple to battle the Mets.
It’s only Friday, and it’s already been quite a week for the Cincinnati Reds. First of all, the Reds (54-49) took 3-of-4 from the slumping Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, giving the Redlegs a 5-2 record over their past seven games. Next, in the span of little more than 12 hours, the team acquired three arms for the bullpen by trading for Luis Cessa, Mychal Givens, and Justin Wilson.
