The Cincinnati Reds are back to 20 games under .500. Now losers of four straight, including a three-game sweep at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers, the Reds are sitting at 23-43 overall. The pitching staff is giving up home runs at a high rate and the offense is failing to score enough runs to compensate. Whatever hope of a season turnaround remained is quickly disappearing in Cincinnati.
Following a Monday off, the Reds will get back in action at Great American Ball Park on Tuesday with a matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The three-game set has a first pitch scheduled for 4:40 p.
