We know this much: The Cincinnati Reds are returning to the postseason for the first time since 2013. What comes next is harder to say.
They clinched a playoff spot with a X-X victory over the Minnesota Twins, coupled with losses by the Milwaukee Brewers and the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. The Phillies lost to the Tampa Bay Rays, 6-4. The Brewers split a doubleheader with the St. Louis Cardinals, winning Game 1, 3-0, and losing Game 2, 9-1.
The Reds needed to win in Minnesota and a loss by both Philadelphia and Milwaukee to clinch.
