The Cincinnati Reds have now won four consecutive baseball games. They have won back to back games in LA against the Dodgers for the first time since 2011. The Matt Harvey era is officially underway for the Reds, and it is off to a roaring start. Harvey pitched four shutout innings on a limited pitch count. Scooter Gennett lead the Reds offense by homering in a fourth consecutive game. For as bad as the Reds have been in 2018, they only have four less wins than the defending NL champs.
