Things were looking bleak to begin the week for the Cincinnati Reds. However, wins on Wednesday and Thursday salvaged a four-game series against the Chicago Cubs and earned the Redlegs a split. The 20 runs scored in Thursday’s blowout win were the most Cincinnati had scored in a game since 1999.
The Reds will remain at Great American Ball Park for a weekend series with the San Francisco Giants. Friday night’s starter is unconfirmed yet for the 6:40 p.m. EST first pitch. San Francisco is currently 24-19 sitting five games behind first place in the National League West.
