A pessimist would look at the Cincinnati Reds (41-44) and claim they are in last place. While being true, an optimist would point to the fact the Reds are only 3.5 games out of first place and are playing their best baseball of the year. On the heels of a 3-game winning streak, the Reds will battle the Indians in hopes of winning this year’s Ohio Cup.
Throughout the 2019 season the Reds have relied on their pitching staff to keep the club in contention, but over the past month the team has shown a propensity for timely hitting.
