The Cincinnati Reds were swept over the weekend in St. Louis by the Cardinals. That extended the Reds losing streak to seven games as they head further out west to take on the best team in baseball – the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Winning is a lot better than losing. It’s fun to win, and it’s less so to lose. While the Reds didn’t enter the series in first, over the last week they’ve gone from first to worst. That isn’t so much fun, either.
This team simply isn’t putting together complete games right now. When the pitching has been there, the offense hasn’t been.
