ANAHEIM — It’s a long season in baseball?
Not anymore. And especially not for the against-all-odds Cincinnati Reds.
“Any ballgame at this point in the season is huge for us,” said Andrew Abbott, the rookie left-hander who faced Shohei Ohtani in Wednesday’s doubleheader opener.
If that was true in Anaheim against the Los Angeles Angels, buckle up for a stretch of 11 games in the next 11 days starting with Thursday’s opener of a four-game series in Arizona and concluding with four games in three days against the Chicago Cubs at home over Labor Day weekend.
