It’s a fight to remain relevant once again for the Cincinnati Reds as they take on the surging Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park on Saturday.
The Reds, who slipped back to .500 at 35-35 after Saturday’s loss to Detroit, find themselves 7 games back of the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central race while they’re also 4 games back of the final NL Wild Card spot now, too. That Wild Card race is slightly deceiving, however, as each of the San Diego Padres, Arizona Diamondbacks, St. Louis Cardinals, and Milwaukee Brewers are ahead of them in the hierarchy for the final spot at the moment.
