Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds are striving to start a new winning streak this week. After their 12-game winning streak was snapped last Saturday. The streak marks the team’s longest winning streak of the 21st century. Culminating with Elly De La Cruz hitting for the cycle last Friday. Becoming the first Reds player to do so since Eric Davis in 1989.

Cincinnati starts this week with a three-game road trip to face the Baltimore Orioles. With the Reds striving to end a two-game losing streak. The Orioles have risen into a formidable team after spending years in the cellar. Baltimore ranks second in the American League East standings. 4.5 games behind the league-leading Tampa Bay Rays.

The Reds are striving to hang on to first place in the National League Central. Leading the Milwaukee Brewers by 0.5 games heading into Monday. After their trip to Baltimore, the Reds return to Cincinnati. For a three-game weekend series against the San Diego Padres. The Reds schedule for this week is below.
