If you’ve looked at the MLB standings recently, the line most likely to cause a double take belongs to the Cincinnati Reds. Specifically, the win column, which stood at a shockingly meager 5 on Monday morning, and had been stuck at 3 only shortly before.
A recent "hot streak" involving a weekend series win and a Monday night win over the Milwaukee Brewers finally eased the ignominy of having fewer 2022 wins than the local football team that hadn’t played since February.
Wins in 2022:
Cincinnati Bengals, 4
Cincinnati Reds, 3So they stand at 6-23, but we're going to focus on their 5-23 start through Monday, roughly the season's first month.
