Let’s agree to leave the six-game losing streak in the rearview mirror. For as fun as the Cincinnati Reds’ 12-game winning streak was, somehow the six-game losing streak seemed even longer. However, they answered with two important victories on Wednesday and Thursday to split the series against the San Fransisco Giants. The Reds are now 52-46 and 2.5 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central.
Cincinnati’s start to the second half is absolutely no joke. They will remain at Great American Ball Park for three games against the 54-43 Arizona Diamondbacks. Then, they will travel to Milwaukee and Los Angeles for six more tough games on the road.
