Recap: Reds win, head out for tough 9-game road trip
Make that a 4-3 home stand with a series win over the lowly Chicago White Sox. The Reds offense carried the load again, tonight with a bunch of singles and walks. The bullpen wasn’t dominant, but the end result was four shutout innings. The defense rebounded from a dreadful night yesterday. Reds are now 8-2 in inter-league games. The Pirates are losing tonight, so the Reds may finish the night just 2.5 games out of fourth place. Good stuff.
The Reds have a day off tomorrow then play a challenging 9-game road trip against the Cubs, Cleveland and St. Louis leading up to the All-Star Game. The first three are day games in Chicago.
Cincinnati Reds 7 (38-49) • Chicago White Sox 4 (30-56)
