The Cleveland Indians came into Ohio Cup action losing four of their last six, failing to take either series against the Houston Astros or Minnesota Twins.
The Indians had no idea where they were going to get runs from and it felt like the pitching had to be perfect in order for the team to have a chance at a win.
The Tribe entered their annual four game series against the Cincinnati Reds looking to get back on track after falling back to .500 at 17-17, and did they ever.
In the four game sweep of the Reds, the Indians looked like an offensive juggernaut that had been waiting to explode and there were many good things to come out of the week against their in-state rivals.
