With one swing of the bat earlier this week, Spencer Steer kept the Cincinnati Reds' dreams of a postseason berth alive. Granted that may be a bit of a stretch, but you get the point. Steer's heroics during the series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers helped Cincinnati avoid being swept for the first time this season, and gave the team hope heading into the second half. Can he keep it up?
From June 24 through July 10, Steer was the hottest bat in the Reds lineup. He was hitting .347/.396/.714 with five home runs, 12 RBI, and a 203 wRC+.
