As you might have heard, the Cincinnati Reds have won seven straight games. After a win to avoid a sweep against the Pirates, the Reds have rattled off a two-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers and a four-game sweep over the NL Central rival Chicago Cubs, giving Cincinnati its longest win streak since the 2012 team won 10 straight.
I never thought the 2012 Reds and 2018 Reds would have anything in common, but here we are.
Alas, because the team played its worst baseball in the history of the franchise in April, seven straight wins still isn’t enough to dig the team out of the division’s cellar.
