The Reds started the season off hot offensively, but have since cooled down. When the first two weeks of the season were complete, the Reds were challenging the Washington Nationals and Texas Rangers for the best offensive team in all of baseball and sitting atop the division. Now as May starts, the Reds are in the middle of the pack.
Before this goes too far, this is not all gloom and doom. The Reds are in the middle of the pack for stats. They are not in the middle of pack in runs scored, however.
The Reds are third in the National League Central and tied for fourth in the NL in runs scored.
